HENRY v MANCHESTER UNITED (H) 01-10-2000
Thierry Henry was no stranger to the spectacular but this goal had added gloss. It was a matchwinner and it came in what was probably Arsenal's biggest domestic game of the season.
Half an hour had elapsed at Highbury when the Frenchman produced his moment of brilliance - and it came from virtually nothing.
Gilles Grimandi was in possession about 40 yards out and under no real pressure. He played the ball into Henry's feet but the striker was 20 yards out and had his back to goal plus Denis Irwin in close attention.
No matter. While holding off his marker, Henry flicked the ball up, span and volleyed a dipping shot over goalkeeper Fabien Barthez in one fluid movement. The ball flew into the top corner and Highbury erupted in celebration.
