Thierry Henry is Arsenal’s all-time top scorer and, in most eyes, their greatest-ever player.
Of his 228 goals for the club across two stints, few compare to his amazing solo effort in the North London Derby on this day in 2002.
Just 13 minutes into the game at Highbury, the Frenchman picked up the ball just inside his own half, and just kept running with it, past and through several Spurs players.
The goal showed everything Henry was about: elite dribbling, power, strength, pace, two-footed, and a world-class finisher.
Henry would seal a clean sweep of the individual awards at the end of this season, and it is little wonder when you see a strike like this.
