Your eyes are drawn to the centre of frame due to the shallow focus which has the Oldham player in focus and the Liverpool players out of focus. The Liverpool players are also positioned along the vertical edges of the rule of thirds grid, which helps frame the picture and draw more attention to the centre as the Oldham players take up the centre fame. This photo is a long shot that is brightly lit by the harsh lights of the stadium. The photographer would have used a fast shutter speed as there is no motion blur amongst the subjects. The body language of each subject helps distinguish who the winners and looser are.
