Arenal 4-2 Wigan
It was meant to be a day of commemoration as Arsenal played their last match at Highbury before their move to the Emirates Stadium the following season. Yet Wigan somehow managed a 2-1 lead and Arsenal fans were left with the glum possibility of the goodbye to their 93 year old ground being tarnished with defeat.
But up stepped Henry, latching onto a Pires pass he levelled the score at 2-2 before a slack back pass set him free and Arsenal into the lead.
His hat-trick was completed from the penalty spot after which the Arsenal record-goalscorer dropped to his knees and kissed the Highbury turf goodbye.
