After 5 years playing abroad Thierry Henry comes on at The Emirates to score the winning goal after only his 5th touch.
Despite dominating possession for most of the game Arsenal still did not look like scoring until with just 20 minutes to go Henry came on as substitute for Marouane Chamakh. In the 78th minute, following a pass from Alex Song, he unleashed a poacher’s unerring kick across goal right into the corner of the net. Thus a man with his own statue outside the stadium had scored his 227th goal for the club and knocked out Leeds United from the FA Cup 1-0.
What a night and what a hero and yes he milked it. You couldn’t script it better.
Here’s my favourite goal from the Arsenal’s all time leading scorer.
Thierry Henry against Liverpool in the FA Cup 2007.
In this amazing goal Henry passes the ball to himself like a 1 man team, beating the renowned English international Jamie Carragher en route.
