Liverpool players honour stricken fan Sean Cox with banner after Roma win

Liverpool's player paid an on-field tribute to Sean Cox after they prevailed in their Champions League semi-final meeting with Roma.

Cox, a 53-year-old Liverpool supporter, was left in a critical condition following an incident ahead of last week's first leg at Anfield that saw two Italian men charged and remanded in custody by Merseyside Police .

Both clubs came out strongly to condemn the actions, Roma president James Pallotta with arguably the strongest words on the matter .

A Mohamed Salah-inspired 5-2 victory in the home game meant Roma's rally to a 4-2 win on home soil was not enough to deny Jurgen Klopp's side a showpiece date with holders Real Madrid in Kiev.
