Lens and Arsenal Last Played In The 2000 UEFA Cup Semi-Final
Lens and Arsenal will meet at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis Stadium tonight in the Champions League – in what will be the fifth time the teams have played.
The Gunners hold the bragging rights in the overall Lens vs Arsenal head-to-head stats with two wins, one draw and one defeat to Lens – but the last time they clashed was way back in 2000.
This meeting came in a crucial UEFA (the old Europa League) second-leg semi-final match on 20th April 2000, which ended Lens 1-2 Arsenal.
However, which Arsenal player scored the final winning goal?

Nwankwo Kanu Was The Last Arsenal Goal Scorer Against Lens
Step forward Nwankwo Kanu, who bagged the Arsenal winner in the 86th minute after Lens’ Pascal Nouma had cancelled out a Thierry Henry first half strike (watch below).
Arsenal won that two-legged tie 3-1 on aggregate, but went onto lose in the 2000 UEFA Cup Final to Galatasaray, who are also in Champions League action this evening when they face Man Utd at Old Trafford.
Meaning, the former Nigeria striker was the last Arsenal player to find the back of the net against Lens – their Champions League opponents this evening.
Kanu went onto play 197 times for Arsenal and during his time in North London scored 44 goals. He later moved to West Bromwich Albion in the summer of 2004.
