Liverpool have condemned fans who ignored calls from the club to celebrate their Premier League title win at home.
According to Merseyside Police, around 3,000 fans gathered around Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s side finally got their hands on the Premier League trophy following their 5-3 win over Chelsea.
Nine people were arrested, though a police statement added that there wasn’t a repeat of the disorder and damage which followed the club’s title win last month.
