United suffer inevitable fate as Henry adheres to Arsenal script Other clubs Yorkshire Post
Thierry Henry, so often the scourge of Leeds United in the past, last night came out of what has effectively been semi-retirement in the USA to fire Arsenal into the FA Cup fourth round. The French international, brought off the bench by Arsene Wenger midway through the second half, broke United’s hearts with a typically clinical finish to beat Andy Lonergan with just 12 minutes remaining.In finally breaking the bold resistance of the Elland Road club, the striker took his tally of goals against Leeds to a phenomenal 12 in as many outings and ensured it was a fairytale return for the loanee from New York Red Bulls.More importantly, he settled a tie that until his late intervention seemed destined to heading for a replay at Elland Road.
