The photograph, taken by the skilled lens of Stuart MacFarlane, showcases Gabriel Martinelli of Arsenal in action, fully focused on the game, while the empty stands serve as a stark reminder of the unusual circumstances under which this fixture was played. The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented changes to the world of sports, and this image encapsulates the unique atmosphere of an empty stadium.
