Fans celebrating Liverpool’s record equaling 20th English Premier League soccer title, literally shook the earth.
Using advanced monitoring equipment deployed in earthquake-prone regions such as Chile and Italy, scientists at the University of Liverpool captured motions produced by supporters inside the team’s iconic Anfield stadium.
More than 60,000 people packed into the ground to watch the team’s 5-1 win over London’s Tottenham Hotspur which saw them secure the championship title.
They were joined by researchers from the university’s Department of Earth, Ocean and Environmental Sciences who measured ground movement from the crowd throughout the match.
They found the most significant tremor came after Alexis Mac Allister’s stunning strike in the 24th minute, which put Liverpool 2-1 ahead.
