Arsenal fans have been reminiscing over Thierry Henry’s winning goal against Leeds United in their FA Cup third-round tie back in 2012.
Alex Song received the ball just outside the penalty box before playing a through ball to the Frenchman, who applied his trademark finish to win the tie for the Gunners (via GoonerNick).

The two clubs will once again meet in the third round of the FA Cup after they were drawn together in last night’s draw.
It was a goal that completed one of the season’s fairytale stories as the legendary striker returned to north London having left the club for Barcelona in 2007.
The goal was his first after his return on loan from Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls and his 227th in an Arsenal shirt.
Following the game, Leeds manager Simon Grayson said it was written in the stars for Henry to score the winning goal (via BBC).
Fans reminisced over the goal from their former player as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
My favourite night ever at the Emirates.
