| Henry is the hero as Arsenal find Premiership success | Mar. 6, 2006 |
|
Thierry Henry powered Arsenal to an emphatic 4-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage last night. This is a rare away win for Arsenal who have been poor visitors this season and have slipped to the sixth spot in the Barclays Premiership. They are also out of the FA Cup, but are still in the Champions' League and in fact hold a 1-0 advantage over Real Madrid going into the second leg.
At the Cottage, Henry was in magical touch as he powered shot after shot before he finally found the net in the 31st minute. It was Diaby's penetrative pass that found Henry and the Frenchman rarely misses such gilt edged chances. Adebayor doubled the Gunners' advantage minutes later as he latched onto a Freddie Ljungberg pass. Thereafter it was all Arsenal as the Gunners gained complete control of the game. Henry added a second goal in the 77th minute as Arsenal extended their lead. Fabregas finished the formalities with a neat effort on 86 minutes.
Fulham manager Chris Coleman admitted that it was his team's worst performance, "Thierry Henry put in one of the best performances I have ever seen and they sent out a warning sign to everybody else," he said. "We have got no complaints because we were poor on the day. We didn't create any chances and they looked like scoring every time they came forward." Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said his team was still developing, "We have shown a lot of mental strength recently and that is very encouraging. Thierry was immense but I think the whole team played very well." |
