In photos: Sights, scenes and emotions of the Festive Fixtures

Feature

We went to Stamford Bridge and Goodison Park to capture a seasonal selection of pictures

The Festive Fixtures are a time for friends, families and fans to come together in celebration of their support for the clubs they love and the beautiful game of football. 

We sent photographer Diogo Gomes to capture scenes in the stands, as well as the action on the pitch, at Chelsea v Fulham on Boxing Day and Everton v Nottingham Forest on 29 December.
