Overview
- Liverpool fans celebrating their Premier League title-clinching win at Anfield triggered six measurable seismic events, according to University of Liverpool scientists.
- The strongest tremor, measuring 1.74 on the Richter scale, was recorded after Alexis Mac Allister's 24th-minute goal, which gave Liverpool the lead.
- Other goals, including Mohamed Salah’s fourth and Cody Gakpo’s third, also produced significant tremors of 1.60 and 1.03 magnitudes respectively.
- Researchers used earthquake-grade equipment, typically deployed in regions like Chile, to capture the seismic activity caused by the 60,000-strong crowd.
- This marked Liverpool’s first fan-attended league title celebration at Anfield in 35 years, with the tremors serving as a scientific testament to the fans' collective energy.
