Premier League pays plane crash tributes

Premier League players have paid tribute to the victims of Monday's Colombian plane crash that killed 19 members of Brazilian side Chapecoense.

Many more support staff and journalists covering the club were among the 71 who died in the crash outside Medellin.

A minute's silence was held at matches in England and Scotland on Saturday.

Chelsea's Brazil defender David Luiz, whose side beat Manchester City 3-1, said: "I give this victory to the people who died."
