🎥 Walking down memory lane with this Henry stunner against Man Utd
🎥 Walking down memory lane with this Henry stunner against Man Utd Few players continue to captivate the hearts and minds of football fans, young and old, better than Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. Across a period of eight seasons in North London, the iconic French striker cemented a Premier League legacy that most will only dream of achieving. Under the guidance of compatriot Arsène Wenger, Henry smashed 175 league goals en route to bagging four Golden Boot awards as well as a couple of league titles.
The proud owner of a goal catalogue that neutral fans and ardent Arsenal supporters still gush over, there were few better than his absolute blockbuster against bitter rival Manchester United on this day, 22 years ago. After fellow Gunners stalwart Robert Pires won his duel just inside United's half, Henry cushioned down for Antonio Reyes before the Spaniard took a touch to free himself before sliding back to the Paris native, who unleashed a piledriver from 30 yards beyond a sprawling Roy Carroll in the 50th minute. Though Louis Saha would go on to spoil the party with a late equaliser, it wouldn't stop Henry from leading the Invincibles to Premier League honours, something they have not achieved since.
