EDITORS COMMENTS
In a poignant moment at an empty Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe etched his name into the annals of Gunners history as he netted his first career goal for the club against West Bromwich Albion in May 2021. Amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, stadiums across the UK were forced to operate under strict restrictions, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending live sporting events. The atmosphere was far from the usual electric energy as Smith Rowe, clad in the iconic red and white stripes, took to the pitch. The young midfielder, who had been with the academy since the age of six, had been eagerly anticipating his moment to shine in the Premier League. As the ball was played into his path, Smith Rowe displayed a cool composure, expertly slotting it past the West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper to put Arsenal in the lead. The goal was a testament to Smith Rowe's determination and hard work, as well as a symbol of hope during a challenging time for the football community. The empty stands, usually filled with passionate supporters, were a stark reminder of the pandemic's impact on the world of sport. Yet, even in the absence of the fans, the beauty and intensity of the game shone through, with Smith Rowe's goal serving as a beacon of resilience and perseverance. This photograph, captured by Arsenal FC's official photographer David Price, immortalizes a historic moment in the club's history, showcasing the determination and skill of Emile Smith Rowe as he etched his name into the annals of Arsenal Football Club.
