Liverpool FC fans descended on the streets outside Anfield and in the city centre in their thousands to celebrate winning the Premier League. Supporters gathered throughout the city to mark the occasion with singing, dancing and fireworks.
Chelsea’s 2-1 win against Manchester City on Thursday evening handed the Reds their first Premier League title.
The gatherings come amid increasing worries about the unwillingness of the public to follow social distancing rules meant to halt the spread of COVID-19. Exasperated Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said on Twitter that he was “really concerned” about the images he was seeing.
