There was a special atmosphere at the Stadium of Light on Saturday evening as Sunderland fans packed into the ground for the Premier League clash with Arsenal. Under the lights and with a full-stadium Remembrance display observed impeccably by both sets of supporters, Wearside once again showed why it remains one of the most passionate footballing communities in the country.
From the pre-match tribute to the noise that carried throughout the 2–2 draw, the Black Cats faithful played their part in another memorable night. Here are some of the best fan photos from the Stadium of Light, courtesy of Frank Reid and Getty Images.
