Post Match Reaction: Sunderland (A)

Thierry Henry signed off in style with a last minute winner to see us leapfrog Chelsea into 4th place.

Positives:
In his last league game for the club, Henry proved that this short return to London really has been the stuff of dreams, his last minute winner expertly taken to send the away fans into raptures.

Negatives:
Per Mertesacker's injury, stumbling to the floor as Sunderland went on to grab the opener has left our defence lighter than ever. It's not what we need with a tough fixture run-in to come.

Conclusion:
Never mind Fabregas and Nasri, the king returned, and tonight he truly signed off in style. The much maligned Andrey Arshavin's cross for Henry was an absolute peach, and from that sort of range, the legend himself was never going to miss! We'll miss you Tezza!
