EDITORS COMMENTS
In an unprecedented footballing scene, Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrates scoring the first goal against Newcastle United at an empty Emirates Stadium on January 18, 2021. Amidst the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending live sporting events, resulting in the Premier League match being played behind closed doors. The atmosphere inside the stadium was notably different from the usual electric energy of a sold-out Emirates crowd. Aubameyang, however, remained focused, netting the opener in the 17th minute with a cool finish from close range. His teammates rushed to congratulate him, their faces masked and socially distanced, reflecting the unusual circumstances of the game. The empty stands did little to dampen the spirits of the Arsenal squad, who fought valiantly to secure a much-needed three points. Aubameyang's goal was a beacon of hope in an otherwise challenging season for the Gunners, who were eager to climb up the league table and reclaim their former glory. The image captures a poignant moment in football history, highlighting the resilience and adaptability of the sport in the face of adversity. Despite the absence of fans, the passion and determination of the players shone through, reminding us that football is more than just a game – it's a source of unity, inspiration, and joy for millions around the world. David Price's photograph encapsulates the essence of this unique moment in Arsenal's 2020-21 season, providing a snapshot of a time when football adapted to the challenges of the pandemic and continued to captivate audiences, albeit in a different way.
