Wenger praises scintillating Henry display in rout of Boro

Middlesbrough 0 Arsenal 4

Henry led a 4-0 rout of Middlesbrough at the Riverside to see the Gunners go level with Manchester United and Chelsea at the top of the Premiership and afterwards claimed not to be 100% fit. Arsenal boss Wenger is also expecting more from Henry, but resisted the temptation to declare him the best striker in the world.

He said: "It's difficult to say I just think it's very important for him to go as far as he can. There is still more in him than what he does at the moment. That's very important to me, every year he makes a step forward and I hope he will make another one this season."
