Henry hammers home hat-trick

Arsenal 3

Thierry Henry was yet again the Arsenal match-winner, striking his second hat-trick of the season to restore the Gunners' five-point lead ahead of Manchester United. The prolific Frenchman who scored his 100th goal for the club last weekend is already en route to the next century target.

However, that was not half of the story of an incident-packed match in which Arsenal stumbled before finally picking up the gauntlet thrown down by Alex Ferguson after his side's victory against Chelsea on Saturday.
