For many supporters, the atmosphere and noise at Premier League matches can make watching their team an overwhelming experience.

But Arsenal are one of the clubs who are trying address the issue by installing a sensory room at their stadium.

The room is a unique space which allows adults and children with difficulties such as autism to watch live matches from a room with a window on to the pitch and it contains a range of sensory activities and toys that provide a tranquil space for fans and their families.

See how the Emirates Stadium room is making an impact on fans, such as seven-year-old Reggie, who has autism, by watching the BBC Match of the Day video above.
