Arsenal vs Fulham - Highbury, London - Wednesday 24th August 2005

A collectors item match, in more ways than one. Thierry Henry moved to within touching distance of the all-time Arsenal goalscoring record. Lauren missed a penalty. The ground was full of redcurrant shirts (and no jackets) for probably the last time until it gets warm again in April. And, Pascal Cygan ended up scoring 2 goals, leaving him just a tantalising 181 or so away from the all-time Arsenal scoring record.

In reality, despite scoring first early on, Fulham did not look a great side, and were eventually swept aside fairly easily. Seemed like a confident, convincing performance, and a good way to bounce back after defeat against Chelsea.
