Nigerian football legend, Kanu Nwankwo rolled back the years as he netted a hat-trick for Arsenal Legends in a charity game on Saturday against AC Milan.
The game was organised by the Arsenal Foundation to donate £1million to build football pitches for children in London, Jordan and Somalia.
The Arsenal Legends were coached by Arsene Wenger why Fabio Capello coached the AC Milan side.
Coming in as a substitute just like he did in his Arsenal days, Kanu opened goal by heading in an Emmanuel Petit cross to give Arsenal the lead.
After AC Milan equalised, the former Nigerian international got the Arsenal side back into the lead with a diving header before completing his hat-trick from the penalty spot.
Robert Pires scored the other goal for the Arsenal legends in the game that ended 4-2 to the Gunners, with Christian Vieri scoring AC Milan’s two goals of the game.
