Arsenal fans were able to watch their team for first time in 271 days as the Emirates Stadium reopened to 2,000 supporters on December 3.

Fans had to sanitise their hands before entering the ground which was redesigned to accommodate for COVID restrictions.

Covers were placed on the majority of seats instructing fans not to sit there as well as social distancing measures in the toilets.

Filmer Marc Paydon said: "Having a match ticket for Arsenal’s Europa League clash with Rapid Vienna, felt like owning one of Willy Wonka's Golden Tickets.

"It was a thrill and an honour to be there, and hopefully the first step to getting the stadium back up to capacity again.

"From going through security to being in your seat, seeing a kick off after so long away, and singing for your club meant a lot after such a challenging year."

Fans’ Eye View Of Finally Being Back Inside A Football Stadium

From going through security to being in your seat, seeing a kick off after so long away, and singing for your club meant a lot after such a challenging year.
