The legendary Liver Building was set on fire by fireworks on Friday as fans ignored the rules of social distance and dropped tons of garbage as they marked the club’s first top title in 30 years.
A joint statement by Liverpool, the police and the council said: “Several thousand people showed up at Pier Head on Friday, and some have decided to ignore the social distancing guidelines and endanger public safety.
“Our city is still in a public health crisis and this behavior is completely unacceptable.
“The potential danger of a second Covid-19 summit remains and we need to work together to ensure that we do not undo everything that has been achieved.
“If this is certain, we will all work together to organize a victory parade where everyone can celebrate.
“Up to this point, the security of our city and our population has remained a top priority.”
Merseyside police issued a distribution order on Friday evening for much of Liverpool city center, which will remain in effect until tomorrow.
Chief Constable Andy Cooke confirmed 15 arrests during Friday’s chaotic scenes.
He tweeted a statement yesterday saying, “Those who gathered last night may have increased the risk of the pandemic continuing to worsen.
“In addition, the minority’s actions were not only irresponsible, but also criminal. It tarnishes the reputation of our city and Liverpool FC.
“Children and families were present, so persistent police intervention was not appropriate.
“Later, 15 people were arrested for violent interference and my officers were subjected to a series of violent confrontations. It is not acceptable.
“With regard to people involved in criminal or anti-social behavior, we will examine CCTV images and body-worn cameras to identify those responsible and take action.
“The threat from this pandemic will end. It is then certain to celebrate the right path.
“Stay at home for the benefit of your city, your club and, above all, those who are most at risk of dying from the disease. The danger has not disappeared and people are dying. The celebration can wait. “
The Premier League declined to comment, but the local soil security advisory group could come under pressure to recommend the revocation of the security certificate Anfield requires to play games.
GSAG chief, Councilor Wendy Simon, warned fans “to strictly adhere to the social distancing guidelines associated with the Covid 19 pandemic.”
In April, Mayor Anderson was beaten up by the club, ex-players and fans said the restart of the season was a “non-starter” because the Reds fans were evading the ban to celebrate in Anfield.
Yesterday he tweeted: “More in mourning than in anger, like most LFC fans and residents, I condemn those who have put a negative focus on @LFC and our city.
“We talk about the images and videos that show people’s behavior, rather than the fantastic performance of LFC. Many thanks to the fans who listened. “
