Henry’s return a boon in Arsenal victory
Striker scores twice in 2-0 win over Sparta Prague for Champions win
Thierry Henry returned from injury to score two goals Tuesday and help Arsenal maintain its perfect record in the Champions League with a 2-0 win at Sparta Prague.
Six minutes after he came off the bench to replace injured Jose Antonio Reyes, Henry showed his class. He collected a pass from Kolo Toure, fouled a defender and sent a curling foot shot into the corner of Sparta's goal from the edge of the area with goalkeeper Jaromir Blazek diving in vain.
Henry's second came 16 minutes before the final whistle. Robert Pires provided him with a precise pass, and Henry broke into the area and beat two Sparta defenders before scoring with a low shot.
