EDITORS COMMENTS
great image capturing the emptiness and surreal atmosphere of an Arsenal home game against Crystal Palace during the 2020-21 Premier League season. With the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, stadiums in England were forced to operate under strict restrictions, resulting in matches being played behind closed doors. In this photograph, Rob Holding of Arsenal is seen in action on the pitch at Emirates Stadium, London, with the usually bustling stands and vibrant crowd conspicuously absent. The usually electric energy of a live football match is replaced by an eerie silence, as the only sounds heard are those of the players and the ball in motion. The empty seats and deserted concourses serve as a stark reminder of the unprecedented challenges faced by the sports world during these times. The image also highlights the resilience of the game, with the players continuing to give their all despite the unusual circumstances. Overall, this photograph beautifully encapsulates the unique and challenging nature of sports in the era of the Coronavirus pandemic.
