Arsenal vs Leeds United

<b>FT</b> Henry's Arsenal, as they will henceforth be known, are through to the fourth round of the FA Cup and will face Aston Villa.

<b>FT</b> Henry milks the applause at Emirates Stadium, and rightly so, as the fans sing 1-0 to the Arsenal.

<b>FT</b> That's it! Henry brings some excitement to an otherwise dull game and gives the Arsenal fans plenty to talk about over their post-match pints.

Forssell makes room for a shot and stings the hands of Szczesny. Leeds fight on as time ticks away.

Ramsey takes the ball down on the edge of the box. Henry is free but he decideds to shoot and invariably misses. How long will it be before they realise they need to pass to Henry in those situations?

Miguel finds himself in the Leeds box, he tries to beat O'Dea but the defender reads it well and makes a well-timed tackle.

Henry has been given man of the match... not sure about that.

Leeds are finding it difficult to mount a challengg in the final few minutes of the match having been out of it for 84 minutes.

ESPN's John Brewin at Emirates Stadium: <i>It had to be you. Thierry Henry. 'You're so s**t, you need Henry,' sing the Leeds fans. '1-0 to the Arsenal,' reply the Henry fan club.</i>

<b>Stat</b> Thierry Henry has now scored 12 goals in 12 appearances against Leeds United.

Song feeds Arshavin in the box. For some reason the Russian doesn't pass to Henry as the script dictates and shoots into the sidenetting instead.

McCormack heads straight at Szszesny from the penalty spot. That was a good chance.

It's probably Henry's second or third touch of the match. He's made a hero's return and my bet is scuppered. Thanks Thierry.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Henry. Who else? A great through-ball from Song and Henry slides the ball past Lonergan and into the far corner.

Two corners and a throw amount to nought for the Gunners.

Szczesny is obviously bored now and rushes out of goal to make a clearance. It a poor one, but he gets back in position to save Nunez's long-shot.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Leeds make a change. Off goes Becchio and on comes sharp-shooter McCormack. Could Leeds do a smash a grab?

Song chips the ball long for Henry. The Emirates draw breath in unison but the pass is too heavy.

Walcott delivers a dangerous cross. O'Dea heads behind for Leeds.

Yennaris has looked robust at right-back for Arsenal. Good job too, as the he is the only fullback they have.

<b>Stat:</b> Thierry Henry comes on for his first match for Arsenal since a 1-1 draw vs PSV in the Champions League on March 7, 2007.

Right, all Henry need to do now is score.
