Liverpool fans' Premier League celebrations shook the ground

It was a unforgettable day for many Liverpool fans last week as they were crowned the champions of this season's Premier League.

Throughout the stadium happy fans were easy to spot and the celebrations certainly weren't lacking.

In fact, fans celebrated so much, they set off earthquake monitors that had been installed in the ground.

With the help of the University of Liverpool, Liverpool Football Club installed a seismometer - an instrument that measures ground movement- in the Main Stand.

This recorded activity inside the stadium from the crowd of 60,415 fans.

The data it captured was then analysed by researchers at Liverpool University.

It showed that the reaction to goals during the game was so powerful that it shook the ground.

The data focused on the six goals scored during the game.

It showed a few measurements that were captured on the Richter scale - a scale used to measure the intensity of an earthquake.

Alexis Mac Allister's strike in the 24th minute that meant the Reds took the lead produced the highest peak, with a peak magnitude of 1.74.

Ben Edwards, a professor behind the experiment, said: "Much like natural seismic events, these goals produced bursts of ground-shaking, triggered by the sheer passion of Liverpool fans. Their enthusiasm was literally powerful enough to move the Earth."
