Believe it or not: Liverpool fans caused an earthquake in Anfield while celebrating the title

According to a study by scientists from the University of Liverpool, fans of England's new champion caused earth quakes as they celebrated the title champion.

On Sunday, Liverpool officially won the 20th English champion title after defeating Tottenham Hotspur with a score of 5-1. He thus summed up an imperfect season in England and was decorated with the most prestigious trophy.

A big party followed in Anfield and Liverpool fans celebrated for days. The atmosphere is well indicated by the fact that scientists from Liverpool University recorded the earth's most serious quakes during the celebration.

Anfield fans caused a 1.74 magnitude earthquake while celebrating a goal in the victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Scientists from Liverpool University especially arrived at Anfield to measure possible land movements caused by the crowd.

They used equipment that is normally used to monitor earthquakes and found that Liverpool's 60,145 fans generated seismic activity in response to goals.

The greatest impact was caused by the goal of Alexis MacAllister in the 24th minute, when earth's quake measured a magnitude of 1.75.

These were minor vibrations, not strong enough to be felt in the tribuna, but powerful enough to leave a clear and stable trace at Anfield”, Dr. Farnaz Camranzad.

The study was conducted by Franz Camranzad and her colleagues, Professors Antoine Septier and Ben Edwards.

“Their celebration was loud enough to move Earth”, Edwards added.

Mohammed Salah's goal, the second of the match, caused a 1.6-magnitude shake, and every subsequent goal, quite predictable, caused a weaker shake.
