of the Hillsborough tragedy with a number of tributes on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool\u2019s Premier League match against West Ham United was the men\u2019s team\u2019s nearest fixture to April 15, when in 1989 the disaster at the FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest resulted in 97 supporters losing their lives.<\/p>\n<p>A mosaic in honour of those children, women and men was formed on the Kop prior to kick-off as a silence was observed, with tributes also displayed on LED boards around the pitch and a commemorative matchday programme.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham\u2019s Aaron Cresswell also laid a wreath at the stadium\u2019s Hillsborough Memorial ahead of the game to pay respects on behalf of the visitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u200c<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\"
