comprehensively beat a Milan side which featured the likes of
Christian Vieiri and Cafu.
A Nwankwo Kanu hat-trick and goal from Robert Pires gave
Arsenal Legends a 4-1 win over Milan Glorie in a charity match
at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners attempted to start the match with 12 men when
Nigerian striker Kanu didn’t realise he had been named as a
substitute, but the 40-year-old made up for his mistake when
he scored a header from Emmanuel Petit’s cross on 27
minutes, before Milan’s Christian Vieri equalised with a scrappy
effort five minutes before the break.
Kanu scored a second on 72 minutes before Pires got in on the
act just a day after playing at the Wembley Cup, while Vieri
netted a late consolation for Milan when he rebounded in a
penalty which was well saved by David Seaman.
Highlights included Martin Keown begging Arsene Wenger to
bring him on throughout the match and Nigel Winterburn
squaring up to Paolo Di Canio in a mock incident of when the
Italian confronted a referee against Sheffield Wednesday in
September 1998.
Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg and Kolo Toure all featured for
the home side while Wenger and Fabio Capello took charge of
the respective squads in a match which is expected to raise £1
million for the Arsenal Foundation’s mission to build pitches for
children in London, Jordan and Somalia.
