Arsene Wenger: 'Thierry Henry is a legend'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has described Thierry Henry as a "legend" after the striker scored the winner during the 2-1 victory over Sunderland.

Henry has been at the Emirates on a short-term loan deal from New York Red Bulls, and Wenger feels that his goal was a reminder of his legendary status.

"He finished the story of the legend today in the championship. I hope he will add some in the Champions League on Wednesday," the manager said.

"It shows you as well that they never lose it, these players, exceptional talent survives."

Arsenal face AC Milan in the last 16 of the Champions League.
