New league attendance record set at Anfield

A figure of 59,947 supporters were inside the stadium to watch the Premier League contest, which ended 1-1.

The total surpasses the 59,896 who attended the Reds’ 3-1 victory over Burnley in February, with that fixture improving on the previous league record (58,757) set in 1949 for a 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Anfield’s all-time record attendance, however, remains the 2-1 FA Cup win over Wolverhampton Wanderers from February 1952.
