Thierry Henry has admitted staying in the changing room until 1am after scoring against Leeds on his return to Arsenal in 2012.

Henry had secured his status as Gunners legend when he made a dramatic return to the club in a short loan spell, whilst playing for MLS side New York Red Bulls. 

In true fairytale fashion the Frenchman marked his second spell back at The Emirates with a goal on his first appearance in an FA Cup tie against Leeds. 

Coming off the bench as a substitute, Henry scored the only goal of the game in a memorable moment that saw Arsenal progress to the next round. 

Talking before Tuesday's Champions League clash between his old club and Porto, Henry spoke of the emotion of that goal, before recreating the strike on the Emirates pitch as part of the pre-match coverage for CBS Sports.
