It’s been a fantastic start to the week for Arsenal fans, and after the heroics of Tuesday night, here’s some Wednesday nostalgia courtesy of Thierry Henry.
On this day in 2004, he put together one of his best-ever performances, and scored one of his best-ever goals on a special day at Highbury.
Arsene Wenger’s side had seen a potential treble go up in smoke in the seven days prior to their clash with Liverpool, and their hopes of an unbeaten league season were under threat when the Reds twice took the lead.
However, Arsenal had peak Henry in their ranks, who took it upon himself to ensure their invincible dream would continue, scoring the first equaliser before completing a hat-trick to turn a 2-2 into a 4-2 in his side’s favour.
His second goal was the pick of the bunch, and the pick of the season arguably, as he weaved his way through the Liverpool defence and a falling Jamie Carragher, before slotting under Jerzy Dudek.

It was a goal that summed up the sheer brilliance of the Frenchman, who, to many, is the greatest player of the Premier League era.
