Marking victory as an "earthquake" has become a lazy and overused term. But in Liverpool Football Club’s championship battle, when scientists recorded the earthquake activity of the real Earth shaking triggered by the Anfield celebration.

Researchers from the University of Liverpool’s Department of Earth, Ocean and Environmental Sciences will be on-site on Sunday to measure ground movements among the crowds throughout the game, when the home team won a 5-1 title and won the Premier League title for the 2024-25 season.

Using state-of-the-art seismic equipment to monitor the same type of instruments in seismic areas such as Chile and Italy, scientists captured ground motion on the ground.

The data show that the 60,415-person crowd produced real seismic activity, especially in response to six goals in the game.

The most important tremor was caused by Alexis Mac Allister's strike in the 24th minute, which gave Liverpool a 2-1 lead. Its peak amplitude on the Richter scale is 1.74.

The second-big tremor was 1.60 in height, following Mohamed Salah's goal in front of the KOP in the second half. Cody Gakpo's efforts reached 1.03, which was the goal of Udogie's 1.35, and Luis Díaz initially did not allow the equalizer 0.64.

Kamranzad said: "Who knows football fans can generate earthquake energy? The experiment shows that science is everywhere, even hidden under Anfield's target roar. It's a good reminder that geoscience can capture the energy of human emotions in powerful and surprising ways.

"Incredible that we recorded six earthquake events, with the equivalent Richter recordings from 0.7 to 1.75. These tremors are small tremors that are not enough to feel in the stands, but enough to leave a clear and lasting mark in Anfield. Every cheerful celebration, every celebration, leaves a trace of our feet, and leaves a collective joy under our feet, an earthquake-engraved man, an earthquake-encrusted man, once a memorial on Earth, and the ultimate memory."

"Experiments are an exciting experience that shows that science can appeal to both people and the public. I hope our work inspires a new generation of seismologists and promotes a wider appreciation of the scientific process. In addition, I hope that showing that data can inspire innovative ideas for potential applications and even enhance the stadium experience."
