Arsenal have issued a statement praising supporters.

The statement hailing Gunners fans says: 

"We wanted to say a big thank you to all our supporters who attended our 2-0 win against West Ham United on Wednesday evening.

The UK Government’s implementation of Plan B at short notice presented significant challenges for everyone, and it’s thanks to your diligence and preparedness that we were able to get you all in the stadium with minimum fuss.

Thank you for your efforts and your magnificent support on the night. 

Our next home fixture is in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Sunderland on Tuesday, December 21. The same measures will apply, so if you’re attending, please remember to have your COVID Pass downloaded to your digital wallet or proof of a negative lateral flow/PCR test ready to show on arrival at the stadium.

If you are a season ticket holder and you have already submitted the form declaring your COVID status, you do not need to do it again.

However, if you are purchasing tickets on a match-by-match basis and have a ticket for the Sunderland game, you will receive an email instructing you to do complete the form again.

You can read up on the full Plan B measures here.

Thank you once again for your support and take care of yourself and your loved ones.
