On This Day: Sparta Prague 0-2 Arsenal - 18 October, 2005 - Thierry Henry Becomes Club Record Goalscorer
On 18 October 2005 at the Letná Stadium, Arsenal win 2-0 in Prague and Thierry Henry becomes the club's record goalscorer, not bad for a man meant to get half an hour. Back after seven games out injured, he starts on the bench, but the forward ahead of him takes bruised ribs in a heavy challenge and Henry is on after 15 minutes.
He needs six minutes. A long clearance from the back reaches him on the edge of the area, and with his first touch he curls it past Jaromír Blažek with the outside of his boot, drawing level with Ian Wright on 185.
Sparta, playing in a half empty ground after part of it was closed as punishment for racist abuse, rarely trouble Arsène Wenger's side. Karol Kisel forces the one telling save after the break, tipped over from long range, and Emmanuel Eboué is sent on just before the second.
On 74 minutes a long pass sends Henry clear, he holds off two defenders and slots in his 186th Arsenal goal. Arsenal go on to top the group and will make it all the way to the final - unfortunately falling short at the final hurdle.
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
