On this day 10 years ago, French forward Thierry Henry etched his name in the Arsenal history books.

Facing Sparta Prague in the Champions League group stage, a brace from Henry lifted the Gunners past their opponents 2-0 and in the process, he passed former record holder Ian Wright to become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.

Henry, who had just come off a six-week layoff due to a groin injury, put Arsenal ahead in the 21st minute, tying Wright’s Arsenal scoring record of 185.

The record-breaking 186th goal came in the 74th minute, as Henry calmly controlled a long ball with his heel, then curled the strike in from the edge of the area.
