'Celebrate in a safe way whereby we do not risk spreading this awful disease': Jurgen Klopp condemns Liverpool fans for huge city centre gatherings after supporters fought with police and left streets strewn with rubbish following title triumph

Jurgen Klopp has hit out at the behaviour of Liverpool supporters after thousands gathered around Anfield and in the city centre following their historic title win.

Manchester City's defeat at Chelsea last Thursday 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, many of whom had been waiting 30 years to see their side crowned champions.
