Arsenal fans in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, convened at a local church for a special prayer session, to show gratitude after their team thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0 in their Premier League match on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Clad in Gunners shirts, the fans joyously sang praises and extended thanks to their team\u2019s impressive performance during the Sunday morning service.<\/p>\n

They also offered prayers hoping for continued success for Arsenal in the on-going season.<\/p>\n

Journalist Kennedy Muriithi, who was among those attended, shared photos from the prayer service on social media.<\/p>\n

Arsenal is currently level on points with Manchester City, who have a game in hand over the North London side, and five points behind Liverpool at the top of the table.<\/p>\n

The photos sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some mocking the fans.<\/p>\n
