'We have to stay disciplined' - Klopp backs Liverpool Council's call for fans to celebrate Premier League title at home

Jurgen Klopp has backed a call from Liverpool City Council’s Director for Public Health for fans to take responsibility for their behaviour and help curb the spread of coronavirus.

Some fans were criticised after gathering in large groups to celebrate their side’s Premier League title win, despite repeated warnings about maintaining social distancing guidelines in the face of Covid-19, which has now officially claimed more than 44,000 lives in the UK.

Klopp condemned scenes which saw fans congregating on the city’s Pier Head, with one man charged by police after directing a firework at the Liver Building.
