Liverpool FC owners has condemned the behaviour of some fans who gathered in the city to celebrate the Premier League title win as “wholly unacceptable”.
As hundreds of Flares were lit across anfield, thousands turned up at the stadium despite restrictions on gatherings.
Firefighters also extinguished a small fire at the landmark Liver Building.
Liverpool FC issued a joint statement with the city council and Merseyside Police, saying: “Our city is still in a public health crisis and this behaviour is wholly unacceptable.
“The potential danger of a second peak of Covid-19 still exists and we need to work together to make sure we don’t undo everything that has been achieved as a region during lockdown.
“When it is safe to do so, we will all work together to arrange a victory parade when everyone can come together to celebrate.”
Trashs were seen littered around the streets of Liverpool despite the city’s lockdown restrictions.
Liverpool city Mayor Mr Anderson told Reporters that he was “frustrated and angry and upset”.
He said: “People were urinating in doorways of the Cunard building because people gathered there with cases and cases of beer.
“About 95% of fans have behaved remarkably well, brilliantly, and listened to our pleas not to gather together, and yet there are a tiny minority besmirching Liverpool Football Club’s name.”
“I am angry that people are not considerate to other people, their families, the NHS and the workers that have to deal with this. Covid has not gone away.”
He said reported cases of coronavirus had fallen in the past weeks but crowds were “putting that at risk”.
