EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the surreal atmosphere at Emirates Stadium during the Arsenal vs Newcastle United Premier League match on January 18, 2021. The empty stands are a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges the world of sport, and indeed society as a whole, has faced due to the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic. The Government's social distancing laws have forced stadiums across England to remain closed to fans, resulting in games being played behind closed doors. In this photograph, Cedric of Arsenal is seen in action against Newcastle United, with the usually bustling Emirates Stadium eerily quiet in the background. The absence of fans creates a unique and almost otherworldly setting, with the focus shifted entirely to the players and their performance on the pitch. The empty seats serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices being made to keep everyone safe during these uncertain times. Despite the challenges, the passion and dedication of the teams and their staff continue to shine through, as they adapt to the new normal and strive to deliver top-quality football to fans around the world. This image is a powerful reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the sports community in the face of adversity. Overall, this photograph is a poignant and thought-provoking snapshot of a moment in time, showcasing the unique circumstances of the 2020-21 football season and the enduring spirit of the game.
