Sol Campbell reacts on Instagram as Liverpool fail to match Arsenal's Invincibles record

Arsenal weren't in action over the weekend, but there's still been plenty for ex-players and supporters to celebrate.

This is even after suffering a shock Europa League exit at the hands of Olympiacos by virtue of the away goals rule at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.

Although, the Gunners' hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season were given a mini boost with Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur all failing to win.

But the big news of the weekend from an Arsenal fan perspective was the result at Vicarage Road.

Runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool were convincingly beaten 3-0 by Watford in a result which brought their incredible 18-game winning run in the top flight of English football to an end.

Furthermore, their unbeaten run has also been stopped at 44 - much to the relief of the Gunners as their 49-games without defeat in the Premier League was under serious threat.

In addition, the Merseyside giants could have matched a feat set by Arsenal in 2003/04 when they went the entire season unbeaten - earning them the 'Invincibles' nickname.

But thanks to a brace from Ismaila Sarr and a strike from Hornets captain Troy Deeney, the north London outfit remain the only team in Premier League history to avoid defeat across an entire campaign.

For that brilliant achievement the Gunners were given a special gold Premier League trophy.

Something which Sol Campbell - a key member of the Invincibles team - appreciates even more following Liverpool's loss at the weekend.

Taking to Instagram, the former defender uploaded an image of him kissing the special Premier League trophy to his Instagram stories with a caption which reads: "Small but extremely precious".

Campbell is not alone in being delighted with the result at Vicarage Road as Arsenal themselves responded to the result.

The official Twitter account @Arsenal tweeted following the final whistle just one word - "Phew.

And until next season at least, Arsenal's proud record remains intact.
