1. Big night at the Emirates

Stuart says: This is a general view of Emirates Stadium before the match against Barcelona. The picture was shot on a remote camera using a fish eye lens. This really sets the scene for the Champions League match. 

2. Santi to the rescue 

David says: Here's Santi scoring the winner against Southampton back in September. It's always a great feeling to get something on a remote camera that you have put up in the stand. You're never sure what you have until you go back through all of the images. The fact that this was a last-minute matchwinning goal makes it even more rewarding.

3. Awesome Alexis

Stuart says: This is a sequence of pictures of Alexis' third goal on our first trip to London Stadium, which included an outrageous step over. 

4. What a return

David says: Like the rest of us in the stadium, Danny really enjoyed this last-minute winner against Leicester.

5. Magical Mesut

Stuart says: After Mesut scored he headed towards the Arsenal fans. I picked up my spare camera and ran after him and caught up just as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain jumped on his back. It's shot on a wide-angle lens which gives it a good perspective.
