Tottenham vs Liverpool match breaks 10-year old Premier League attendance record
By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
Tottenham broke the Premier League’s 10-year-old attendance record, in Sunday’s 4-1 win against Liverpool at Wembley.
The attendance of 80,827 surpassed the previous record of 76,098, set when Manchester United beat Blackburn 4-1 at Old Trafford in March 2007.
The 90,000-capacity Wembley is Spurs’ temporary home this season, as they continue to build their new 61,500-seater stadium.
The North London club fell just short of the Premier League record for both last weekend’s 1-0 win over Bournemouth (73,502) and the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea (73,587) in their first league match at Wembley in August, when tickets were on restricted general sale.
Liverpool’s visit was also on restricted general sale, following advice from the safety advisory group, made up of the club, Brent Council and the police, ambulance and fire services. It meant only Spurs’ fans with a history of buying from the club were able to purchase tickets.
