Henry shows Gunners what they have missed Sport NZ Herald News
Lapping up the acclaim of adoring Arsenal fans, it was as if Thierry Henry had never been away. With one composed, trademark finish, the Frenchman whose statue stands outside the ground enhanced his legendary status with a 78th-minute winner to seal a 1-0 FA Cup victory over Leeds yesterday. "It was like a dream," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. "It was a story you would tell young kids if you want to tell them a story about football. Sometimes it happens." Back at the club on a two-month loan deal from New York Red Bulls, Henry was thrown on as a second-half substitute to salvage victory in a lifeless third-round match. The 34-year-old took 10 minutes to bring the crowd to its feet at the Emirates Stadium and take his club record goal tally to 227.
