Arsenal v Leeds United - in pictures

The last time Leeds United won at the Emirates was towards the end of the 2002/2003 season and a certain Thierry Henry was in Arsenal's starting line-up.

If the former Arsenal man looks a bit miffied this is the reason why Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Arsenal start strongly, with Marouane Chamakh producing some probing runs and Leeds centre-half Darren O'Dea has his hands full containing him Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Here O'Dea has better luck stopping Aaron Ramsey Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian It is rather mild for this time of year but it's not that warm!

The crowd behind Henry get ready to record the moment for posterity Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Henry finally makes his entrance to a great reception Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Here's a sight that the Arsenal faithful didn't think they would see again - Thierry Henry in full flight Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Nico Yennaris, who came on for Francis Coquelin after the youngster went off with a hamsting injury, bravely goes in on Aidan White Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Then 10 minutes after coming on, Henry produces the fairytale finish which the Arsenel fans hoped for. Alex Song plays a marvellous diagonal ball into the left hand side of the area, Henry peels off his marker Zac Thompson and latches onto the ball. He then strokes it past Andy Lonergan and into the far corner. It is like watching the Thierry Henry of old Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Not everything Henry touched turned to gold, here he loses out in the air to Tom Lees Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian Ever the old pro, with the clock ticking down and a 1-0 lead to protect, Henry heads to the corner flag Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian The final whistle goes and Henry's goal has sent Arsenal through Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian He shows them where his heart lies Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian ... and where his affections lie too as he blows kisses to the crowd. Arsenal will no doubt need to call on Henry's skill and experience in the next round when they host Aston Villa Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
