Great head : Thierry Henry

The Arsenal 2
(Henry another header! 38th, Hleb 48th)
Porto 0

Two games, two goals, both headers - Thierry Henry looks to have taken well-meaning criticism to heart in his quest to be a better striker than he already is. On the back of noisy sniggers from the British media and ManUre fans, Henry has now scored twice as many goals with his head compared to last year.

And Gooners can expect to see more of this Roy of the Rovers stuff from this magnificent hunk of a Frenchman (are you drooling yet, Lily?).

And will wonders never cease ... Alex Hleb who's yet to show the magic he delivers regularly for Belarussia got on the scoresheet - a cutting shot through Bruno Alaves legs and into the bottom left hand corner of goal.

And last year Hleb scored as many goals as Henry did with his head - well, maybe one or two more (I can't actually recall) but it was a close-run thing.

Tactical summary - the Arse started by trying penetrate the middle but when that didnae work, switched to the flanks and created more chances.

Henry's goal was a 2-man move with Eboue sending in an accurate early cross just over Henry's marker. There were no other Arsenal striker in the box at time of goal.

If you're wondering, yes the goal is identical to the Eboue cross-Henry header one scored against Sheffield.

Porto played very neat passing game but lacked the final pass - so much so that they really looked like the Arse when we lost to Villa. Anderson the Brazilian is touted as the new Ronaldinho - good touches but is quite frankly a diver.

Gunners next stop - Moscow.
