And the players' coach didn't come through the mayhem unscathed as a photo posted by a fan showed a small fire on the roof.

The burning had created a hole just beneath the club crest. Players and staff were unaffected.

Thousands of fans had gathered outside the ground to greet the Reds on their arrival - as has been a custom for big Liverpool games in recent years.

Supporters created quite the atmosphere with raucous singing as many held up flags and flares to mark the momentous occasion as the Reds attempted to pip Manchester City to the Premier League title.

The Reds needed to win, and hope City dropped points at home to Aston Villa, to be crowned Premier League champions.

And the Kop was also a spectacular sight ahead of kick-off with the Anfield faithful waving their boys off to Paris next week for the Champions League final.

Despite the support Jurgen Klopp's men got off to the worst start imaginable as Pedro Neto fired the visitors in front inside three minutes.

They quickly equalised through Sadio Mane, and as the Reds pushed for a second news emerged from the Etihad that City had fallen two behind to Aston Villa.

However, Pep Guardiola's side produced another stunning comeback to score THREE goals in five minutes to confirm a dramatic title win.

Mo Salah and Andy Robertson then netted for the Reds to seal their three points.

But it was all in vain as the Reds were left a point adrift of their great rivals - killing off their Quadruple dreams.
