Freddie Ljungberg and Robert Pires rolled back the years as they pulled on the red shirt of Arsenal again to see off Milan Glorie.
The Invincibles pair – 39 and 42 respectively – combined for Arsenal’s fourth goal and produced trademark one-touch football, the type that would give modern Premier League footballers a run for their money. They hadn’t lost it.
Neither had Kanu, the 40-year-old forward filling in for Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp. The Gunners greats were unable to take part in this match against Milan but, in their absence, Kanu got three goals for Arsene Wenger’s side.
