Arsenal fans haven’t had plenty of reasons to be cheerful this season, so when Thierry Henry’s comeback goal against Leeds United resurfaced on social media, it led to plenty of supporters reminiscing.
The Gunners legend returned to the club back in 2012 on loan and scored the winner against Leeds on his first appearance back at the Emirates.
Henry collected a through ball from Alex Song before coolly slotting past now Liverpool goalkeeper Andy Lonergan, sparking emotional scenes in north London.
Arsenal supporter @PatrickTimmons1 shared an image of Henry’s effort from seven years ago on Wednesday afternoon, which allowed these fans to share their love for the Frenchman.

Read Arsenal verdict
Arsenal fans would do anything to have Henry back in his prime, and he has rightly gone down as a club legend.
His strike 10 minutes into his return was typical Henry, and who knows, we may see the former striker back at the Emirates in the future in a coaching role if he can impress at new side Montreal Impact.
