Arsenal hero Kanu reacts after stellar win vs Liverpool
Arsenal cult hero Kanu Nwankwo delivered a superb reaction on Twitter as the Gunners secured a fantastic 3-2 win over Liverpool in the Premier League.
The north London giants needed a victory to return to the top of the Premier League standings and they made a big statement with a 3-2 triumph over the Reds.
Of course, Jurgen Klopp’s side have been far from their best this campaign, but the Gunners needed to break their mental block, having lost heavily to them lately.
It was a perfect start with Gabriel Martinelli scoring after 57 seconds. Out of the blue, Darwin Nunez equalised for the Reds in the 34th minute, but Arsenal responded.
Seconds before the the half-time interval, a terrific bit of play from Martinelli again put the ball on the plate for Bukayo Saka to tap home into an empty net.
Just when the Gunners looked on course to find a third goal, Roberto Firmino pulled Liverpool level again, but Mikel Arteta’s side eventually found the winner.
Saka made no mistake from penalty spot in the 76th minute. Arsenal have returned to the top of the Premier League table once more and Kanu reacted splendidly.
He wrote on Twitter: “KAN U believe it. Arsenal back on top of the league. Well done boys”

Arsenal have certainly exceeded expectations in the early part of the season. However, it can’t be said that they don’t deserve it. The Gunners have been hugely impressive in every outing.
The confidence and momentum has been building with every game. Manchester City are obviously everyone’s favourites for the title with Erling Braut Haaland looking in ominous form.
No one expects the Gunners to be keeping up with the reigning champions. Only thing they can do is to sustain the challenge with a perfect run and hope Pep Guardiola’s side start to slip up.
Arsenal will be in Europa League action at Bodo/Glimt before their next league outing at Leeds United.
