Emotional moment Liverpool players and fans pay tribute to murdered Olivia Pratt-Korbel during 9-0 win over Bournemouth
LIVERPOOL FC paid tribute to murdered Olivia Pratt-Korbel yesterday as they scored nine goals — matching her age.
Captain Jordan Henderson — who led them to the 9-0 victory over Bournemouth — revealed a shirt emblazoned with “RIP Olivia YNWA”.
All fans at Anfield applauded in the ninth minute and followed it with a rousing rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Before the clash, Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp told in the matchday programme of his shock.
The German said: “Nine years old? I cannot comprehend it and the more I think about it, the more difficult it becomes to understand.
“I would like to pass on the sympathies of everyone at Liverpool FC to Olivia’s family.”

Prior to kick-off, the Anfield stadium announcer urged anyone with information about the gun murders of Olivia, Ashley Dale, 28, and Sam Rimmer, 22 — which have rocked the city in the past week — to contact cops.
It comes as the prime suspect in the killing of Olivia was behind bars last night.
The 36-year-old was bailed and recalled to prison for breaching his licence terms.
He had been quizzed after Olivia was gunned down by a shooter firing into her home in Knotty Ash, Liverpool, at 10pm on Monday.

The suspect was arrested on Thursday for Olivia’s murder, the attempted murder of her mum Cheryl, 46, who was struck in the wrist, and drug dealer Joseph Nee, 35, who ran into Olivia’s home after being shot at.
A second man, 33, said to be the 36-year-old’s brother, was bailed after his arrest on Friday on suspicion of Olivia’s murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Yesterday Harry Doyle, the Assistant Mayor of Liverpool, said the public had come forward with information as they “want to see justice” for Olivia and her family.
Last night, Merseyside Police, seen removing a front door from a property, asked for further help after releasing an image of a black Audi Q3 car used to ferry injured Nee to hospital.
