# Arsenal: Fans laud Thierry Henry amid comparisons with Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero

**Arsenal fans were lauding club legend Thierry Henry after he drew comparisons with Manchester City ace Sergio Aguero.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”272165″\]

Comparisons were made after statistics emerged showing that the two forwards scored the same number of goals in the same amount games in the Premier League [(via Opta)](https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1215235443542974465).

One fan was so certain the former France international was the better player, he tweeted his bemusement at any attempt of comparison.

> Imagine thinking Aguero is a better player than the king. Honestly, baffling.

Before Henry left the club for Barcelona, he ended up [scoring 174 goals in 254 games](https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1215235443542974465) for the north London giants, the same as the Argentine attacker.

However, the Frenchman does come out on top in other attacking departments, having recorded [more assists, scored more winning goals and fewer penalties.](https://twitter.com/jamesbenge/status/1215251674123685888)

But, Aguero does come out on top in one crucial area and that is his minutes per goal ratio, which sits at just [108 compared to Henry’s 122](https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1215235443542974465).

Fans were adamant that retired marksman was the better of the two players after the comparisons were made as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from Gooners:

> For everyone asking:
>
> Henry – 74 assists\
> Aguero – 45 assists
>
> Henry – 4 golden boots, 2 POTY, 4 POTM, 2 league titles\
> Aguero – 1 golden boot, 6 POTM, 4 league titles

> Obviously two great strikers and athletes… but there was a touch of class and pace to spare that make Henry a more pleasant attacker to watch….. maybe also coz i support Arsenal 🙂

> Aguero is an all time great, but Henry was the more creative player. Still holds the record for assists in a premier league season (20).
