Arsenal have marked the 16th anniversary of their famous Invincibles campaign by once again removing the Ls from their Twitter username and bio.

The club made a similar gesture when screening a documentary about the side during the early days of the coronavirus lockdown in March.

The Gunners became the first team in the modern era to go through an entire top-flight league season unbeaten when they won their last title, in 2003/04.

They wrapped up the undefeated campaign with a 2-1 win over Leicester City at Highbury on the final day of the season, May 15, 2004.

The Foxes had threatened to spoil the party when going ahead through Paul Dickov, but Arsene Wenger’s side hit back with goals from Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.

Arsenal also tweeted paying tribute to the late Jose Antonio Reyes, who signed for the club during the January transfer window of the season and tragically lost his life in a car crash last year.

The 38-game unbeaten season was part of a 49-game unbeaten run which remains the longest in the history of English football, with Liverpool having managed 44 games without defeat before losing Watford earlier this season.
