Former Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher says the death of Diogo Jota means performances and results at his old club are not quite as important this season. Portuguese winger Jota died in a car crash last summer at the age of 28. Jota scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for the Reds, helping them win the FA Cup and League Cup in 2022 and the Premier League title last season. Liverpool are currently sixth in the Premier League - 14 points behind table-topping Arsenal - in what has been a testing season for the club on the pitch. People expect you to move on quite quickly, and I don't think that's the case," Kelleher said.
