Thierry Henry was welcomed back by the Arsenal faithful and he returned the favor scoring the game winner in the Gunners 1-0 win over Leeds United in the FA Cup.

The forward on loan from the New York Red Bulls hit a clinical Henry finish in the 78th minute after coming on as a second half substitute. But was he offside? Talk about it below.

The Frenchman put a brilliant first touch on a through ball from Alex Song to set up the change from the left side of the box. Henry opened his hips and curled a low ball to the far side netting past a diving keeper.

The celebration was on with Henry racing down the sideline pounding on the club crest before hugging Arsene Wenger. What does this mean for Henry’s Red Bulls future? Talk about it below.

Wenger must have known Henry had the goods against Leeds United. The last time he played the current npower Championship club was in April 2004 and he knocked in 4 goals in that match.
