Unique Arsenal 'Invincibles' better than unbelievable Leicester – Lauren

Former defender Lauren has stated that the Arsenal unbeaten season of 2004 - 'The Invincibles' - was a greater achievement than Leicester City winning the Premier League title this season.

Underdogs Leicester claimed this season's premiership against all odds and many have hailed the triumph as the greatest ever achievement in the history of the English game.

However, former Gunners right-back Lauren disagrees and has stated his belief that the Arsenal 'Invincibles' side winning the Premier League title without losing a single game back in 2003/04 was a bigger feat than the one which Leicester recently achieved.

Lauren told Goal.com: "Leicester did something unbelievable but to be unbeaten is something extra.

"Going a whole season without losing a game is something unique. We cannot put the two together. If you ask me, I'd say the unbeaten season is bigger.

"What Leicester did is something remarkable. At the beginning of the season no-one expected that sort of achievement. It's been based on hard work, togetherness and huge commitment among everyone in that team. It's something unbelievable for them and it's good for football – another team breaking through against the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal."
