Lauren: Cameroon would have beaten Arsenal 'Invincibles' in Africa

Former Arsenal defender Lauren Etame-Mayer says the Cameroon team was on par, in terms of competitiveness, with the Gunners Invincibles who won the 2003/04 Premier League title.

Mayer was part of the Arsenal squad which went all season unbeaten to finish the season 11 points clear of second-placed Chelsea, having won another Premier League crown two seasons earlier.

He was also with the Cameroon squad that had won the 2000 Olympic gold medal and the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) that year, as well as the same tournament in 2002.
