Premier League chief Richard Masters 'to be quizzed by MPs over chaotic celebrations from Liverpool fans in wake of their Premier League title win' as one member of DCMS committee says Jurgen Klopp and his players 'should've shown more leadership'

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters is set to be questioned by MPs on Tuesday over the chaotic scenes on Merseyside that have accompanied Liverpool's title win.

The Reds were crowned league champions for the first time in 30 years last Thursday when Manchester City were beaten by Chelsea. It sparked scenes of jubilation all over Liverpool, with fans celebrating together into the early hours of Friday.

Supporters had been told to stay at home and adhere to the government's social-distancing guidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic, but those warnings were ignored by large numbers of fans as trouble broke out.
