Ex-Nigeria skipper Kanu scores three times in Arsenal charity game
In true Kanu style, though, he still ensured he stamped his mark on the game, even from the bench, as he struck a hat-trick in a 4-2 win to prompt chants of “sign him up” from the Emirates crowd.

Throngs of Arsenal fans flocked to the Emirates stadium on Saturday to behold Nwankwo Kanu and other Gunners legends.
Nwankwo Kanu scored a hat-trick and Robert Pires netted the Gunners greats’ fourth with an unbelievable finish.
“This is special because of The Arsenal Foundation, what they are doing and the work they want to achieve”, the two time African Footballer of the Year told www.arsenal.com.
With the likes of Kanu, Petit, Pires, Ljungberg, Parlour & David Seaman in action, the Gunners in the stadium were expecting some scintillating action. “The truth is that I’ve been a keen Arsenal fan since my childhood, and playing for ‘our” bitter rivals would have been high treason’.
In the 37th minute, Milan equalised thanks to Vieri. He headed in a second to restore Arsenal’s lead before converting a spot kick to complete his hat trick on the afternoon.
It’s rewarding to hear of and see the eventual outcome, and in games like the Legends match held in North London on the weekend, many can see what they are accomplishing by spending money to view the occasion. I’m happy that the Arsenal supporters all came out to support a good cause. “That said, I reckon I could score three goals!” Arsene Wenger, who managed the legends team, has brought in Lucas Perez from Deportivo to boost his strike force.

The match was the cornerstone of the Arsenal Foundation’s bid to raise over £1million, with which they intend to build football pitches in Jordan, Somalia and London.
