Post Match Reaction: Leeds United (H)

Well, the script was written wasn't it? And for the first time in almost five years exactly, it gives me great pleasure to say... Thierry Henry scored the winner for Arsenal.

Positives:
Thierry Henry is back! On a night fans are labelling 'Return of the King' it was the Frenchman who stepped off the bench to dramatically net our winner 12 minutes from time. It was typical Henry from our all-time leading goalscorer and former captain, taking Alex Song's pass with instant control before cutting in from the left flank and curling a trademark finish into the far corner.

Negatives:
This was one of the most glorious night in Emirates history, though if I am being picky, it must be questioned why it took the introduction of our former talisman to break down a Championship defence.

Conclusion:
Arsene Wenger labelled it "a night to tell any youngster about" whilst Henry himself was highly emotional, asking journalists not to wake him up from this dream.
Thierry, we're glad to have you back!
