Thierry Henry praised Arsenal’s resilience after
Danny Welbeck’s stoppage-time winner earned the
Gunners a 2-1 victory over Leicester City on
Sunday.
Leicester took the lead when Jamie Vardy dispatched his
penalty on the stroke of half-time after being brought
down by Nacho Monreal in the box.
The visitors were reduced to 10 men when Danny
Simpson was shown a second yellow card in the 54th
minute.
Arsenal drew level when substitute Theo Walcott finished
from close range, and Welbeck netted the winner when his
glancing header from Mesut Ozil’s free-kick crept past
Kasper Schmeichel deep into stoppage time.
Speaking on Sky Sports after the final whistle, Henry said:
“I don’t actually know what to say. I’m happy for Danny,
they left it late.
“What a way to come back and now their title chance is
back on track.”
He added: “The ending was just like a great movie.
Arsenal didn’t do enough to win the game at the end of
the day, I thought.
“Leicester obviously went down to 10 men which made it
easier for Arsenal to play – and what a finish!
“I’m very happy for Danny Welbeck because I see him
every day in training and he’s suffered a lot not being
able to help the team, and he helped the team massively.
