Arsenal matchwinner Henry: This is just amazing

Arsenal matchwinner Thierry Henry admits his return couldn't have gone better after victory over Leeds United.

The veteran World Cup winner never envisaged making such a fairytale return.

"I came back from holiday 15 days ago. I never thought I was going to play for Arsenal again or score a winner," Henry said on ESPN.

"I don't know what to say. I love the club and I hope I can do more.

"I hope it won't be the last one. The feeling I had when I scored was amazing."

Henry added: "I rejoined the club as a fan; before I wasn't. Scoring a goal when you support the team, now I know how some of the guys who played for Liverpool or Man United or Chelsea felt when they scored a goal for the club they support.

"When it comes to Arsenal something happens with me, sometimes in a bad way, but most of the time in history in a good way."
