Nwankwo Kanu was the
standout on a pitch packed with
football icons as the Nigerian
striker scored a hat-trick for
Arsenal legends against AC Milan
Glorie.
At 40 years young, Kanu showed
at the Emirates he is still in fine
touch with both head and feet.
He delighted a sell-out crowd at
The Arsenal Foundation
fundraiser and some fans were
so impressed they felt Kanu could
still do a job for their first team.
His first-half header into the top
corner got the Gunners side off
the mark and he almost found
another when he turned Dario
Simic only to fire his shot wide.
A second emphatic header from
Luis Boa Morte’s cross, which
gunned in off the crossbar, in the
69th minute was rounded off
with a comfortably taken penalty
for his hat-trick.
Current striker Olivier Giroud was
the man to cop the brunt of
criticism with fans impressed by
the former front man Kanu,
whose last professional outings
came for Portsmouth in 2012.
“Retired Kanu still has more pace
and is still more clinical that
Giroud," wrote one fan, who
called for Arsene Wenger to sign
him on a free.
Twitter user George said: "Kanu
has gone for 12 years and has
come and scored a hat Trick at
the Emirates ahead of Giroud.”
Robert Pires and Freddie
Ljungberg were similarly on
song, with their performance
capped off by Pires’ late goal.
Jens Lehmann, who started on
the bench behind David Seaman,
while former Italy and Milan star
Christian Vieri scored a double
for the visitors.
