Thierry Henry scores against Leeds on his return to Arsenal.
Arsenal 1-0 Leeds United
The FA Cup with Budweiser
Third Round Proper
7.45pm, Monday 9 January 2012
Emirates Stadium, Arsenal FC
French legend Thierry Henry only joined the Gunners on loan from US outfit New York Red Bulls late last week and had to be content with a place on the bench to start with, but with the game all square with over an hour played and the crowd chanting for the introduction of their hero, boss Arsene Wenger had little to lose.
And it certainly paid off, as the 77th minute winner was classic Henry, right from the way he collected a pass on the left-hand side of the area with one of his first touches of the game before caressing it with his right foot across the goal and into the far corner.
It's been seen many times before in north London and it was no real surprise to see it happen again, once Alex Song had rolled the ball into space for Henry.
Henry's triumphant return will certainly take the headlines and it saved the night for Wenger too, as up until that moment the game had offered little as a spectacle and Leeds could consider themselves unfortunate not to have earned a replay at Elland Road, just as they did a year ago at the same stage of the competition.

So weird seeing Arteta as a player rather than a coach now 😅
I wont lie am a united fan but this guy was without a doubt one of my favourite players! when he scored I was ecstatic!
Number 12 thierry henry scores his 12 goal against leeds in 2012, Legendary.
This is a fantastic moment, in his day arguably the best striker on the planet and there's still life in him yet. Great to see him put one away on his return. Sincerely, a Man U fan.
Classic finish.
henry should slap walcott and tell him to give him back his 14
Not offsides. Perfectly timed run and ball and amazing finish... the Henry way.
I remember I was watching this on my phone, a crappy stream, because I was on a holiday trip and had no TV. 3 AM in the morning, muffled scream, awake till morning. I will remember this moment for the rest of my life. Such an epic return, the return of the king.
Love or hate Arsenal, you gotta love Henry. That man is such a legend.
oh man, what a return, he just had to score, it was all written
what a face melting moment.
i had tears in my eyes when he scored....NOSTALGIA
"It just had to be ... Thierry Henry!" Love that line from the cool commentator, haha.
Great goal and run!
4ever Henry
Moment of greatness
on side! Keep pausing and playing it from 2.00 to 2.03. You will see for yourself. The defender is inside the box, whilst Henry is behind the line of the box. Great Goal. Barca supporter by the way.
12 Goals against Leeds in 12 Games against Leeds wearing number 12 for Arsenal during the year 2012. Henry, a true legend. Amazing player, what Arsenal is all about. Love You Arsenal! A Gunner & Proud:)
Thin comment section is dead but i had to comment.
"Through to Henry, WHAT A MOMENTTTT!"...Goosebump stuff!!
I'm a Liverpool Fan and even I smiled when he came on. one of the best players ever!
Henry = pure class, still get goosebumps every time i watch this.
"What a moment .. it just had to be, Thierry Henry!"
That is not offside... Just enjoy soccer, just enjoy Arsenal Legend Thierry Henry.
LEGENDS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AND HENRY IS ONE OF THEM
My favourite moment
He scored his 12th goal.. In 12 games vs Leeds.. 12 minutes from time.. While wearing the number 12 in 2012. ♥
This goal almost brought me to tears. Henry is a legend (Chelsea fan)
A career total of 372 goals and 195 assists for club and country so far. What a player!

He still remains my idol! True Arsenallegend
i am a gooner till i die to see him back brought tears to my eyes ...legend
This brought tears to my eyes,Thierry Henry,a true gunner!
I am lucky to have seen him play for the New York Red Bulls this past year and a half. He is by far the best man on the pitch every time, and the goals I've seen him score are just beautiful. As a Red Bulls fan, I know his heart lies in Arsenal, so to see him score on his first game back with the team that made him made us all proud! Allez Thierry! See you back at the Arena 3/11/12 against FCD.
Im not an Arsenal fan at all. But a watch this I get goosebumps and I cant help the smile that comes across my face... This game = passion
just one word: LEGEND!
"he delivered his line to perfection" :)
and he delivered his lines to perfection
Leeds United fan and I have huge respect for Henry. He is truly one of the greatest strikers of all time.
He's totally onside, his right feet is really close to the line, while there's a Leeds player who got lost upside. (btw, wtf this defender is doing)
What a piece of Art! God bless you Henry, thumps up for the great legend
bye bye henry for the 2nd time god im gona miss him :'(
the moment the ball crossed the line and i heard the crowd roar, i shed a tear. its rare moments like these where you really start to appreciate football and its greatest players

Damn I feel like crying to be honest :'( Henry you're a legend
The moment he scores the goal the sponsorship screen says FASTER STRONGER FOR LONGER!! I love that!
What a legend, I love henry.
Exceptional player. A clinical finish. He was the only player on the pitch who you'd fact to score from that position
We couldn't score without him. It just goes to show Thierry Henry really is the last piece of the puzzle for Arsenal. He completes us.

It just had to be Thierry Henry!
legend , great goal , best player!
He is forever a legend.
Speaking as a Liverpool fan...It's great to see him back. Easily in the top 3 premiership players of all time.
When this man used to play against us, I used to be scared. With him gone, Arsenal was no longer a threat. Welcome back Henry, in your prime you were something else altogether. - From a Man Utd fan.
Simply the best player
WHAT A LEGEND!
