#5 SC Weiz Vs Arsenal - July 2005
Trending
This is one of Henry's greatest ever Arsenal goals - despite it coming in a pre-season friendly, the Frenchman deserves recognition for this outrageous goal. This lovely goal, scored in a pre-season friendly against SC Weiz of Austria in July 2005, though it may not have meant much, you'd struggle to see a goal he scored that's any better than this. It would probably have climbed up the list had it come in a more official game.
#4 Real Madrid v Arsenal - Feb 21 2006
In an otherwise dark season for Arsenal, this virtuoso goal from Thierry Henry gave Arsenal the lead in this Champions League Knockout round encounter with Real Madrid. Fabregas fed Henry in the centre circle and the striker held off Ronaldo and skipped past Alvaro Mejia and Guti before racing into the area and planted an angled shot past Casillas and into the far corner of the net. It was stunning even by Henry’s high standards.
#3 Arsenal v Liverpool - Apr 9 2004
One of the finest solo goals, here we see Henry picking up the ball 25 yards out, shruggs off one challenge and then turned on the turbo mode to weave through the Liverpool defence. Then he comes face-to-face with Dudek who stood no chance as Henry scored with ease.When other players dream of scoring a goal of this finesse, Henry has scored such goals for fun during his career.
#2 Arsenal v Tottenham - Nov 16 2002
In the 13th minute of the game, Henry outmuscled Matthew Etherington just outside the Arsenal area then outpaced the Tottenham midfielder to put the defence under pressure. Dean Richards and King still blocked his path but Henry darted inside both of them before beating Keller with a low shot into the left-hand corner of the net. One of the best goals of his career. No doubt.
#1 Arsenal v Man United - Oct 1 2000
This goal is regarded as Thierry Henry’s finest in his career . He flicks the ball on the edge of the area , swivelled and unleashed a fierce volley over United keeper Fabien Barthez. The United keeper and all of Manchester could do nothing but watch on as Henry reigned supreme.
