The historic result was cause for jubilation for fans and the club blasted out the 1963 Gerry And The Pacemakers hit on the stadium speakers to help them celebrate.

The scenes were well received by fans on social media, where even rivals were able to appreciate the spectacle.

"Love them or hate them, the atmosphere that Liverpool fans can muster at Anfield would give any true football fan goosebumps," tweeted @gamalnessim77. "Incredible!"

However some fans still saw an opportunity to tease.

Referencing a rather different moment from December 2015 when manager Jurgen Klopp had his team celebrate in front of fans, user @johnpc tweeted: "Have they drawn 2-2 with West Brom again?"

The Reds will play in the Champions League final on June 1 against either Tottenham Hotspur or Ajax.

The Dutch club won 1-0 at the Tottenham Stadium in that tie's first leg, leaving Spurs needing to score to stand a chance of progressing to face their fellow English club.
