Thierry Henry scored the winning goal for Arsenal against Leeds in their FA Cup third round tie.
After five years away from English football, the French striker came on as a substitute in the 68th minute of the third round tie at the Emirates Stadium.
After just ten minutes on the pitch he scored the only goal of the game, to the delight of the home crowd, sending Arsenal through to the next round.
Henry said: "It's kind of weird. I came back from holiday 15 days ago. I never thought I was going to play for Arsenal again or score a winner.
"I don't know what to say. I love the club and I hope I can do more. I hope it won't be the last one. The feeling I had when I scored was amazing.
"I rejoined the club as a fan; before I wasn't. Scoring a goal when you support the team, now I know how some of the guys who played for Liverpool or Man United or Chelsea felt when they scored a goal for the club they support.
"With one opportunity, it's very important, you don't know if you'll have a second. You have to make sure you take it. I took it well."
Arsenal's 1-0 win sets up a fourth round home tie with Aston Villa.
