Opta analyse Henry record

Thierry Henry has become Arsenal's record goalscorer - Opta analyse.

Thierry Henry has become Arsenal's record goalscorer with a brace in Prague to take his Arsenal goal tally to 186.

Ian Wright has held the scoring record since September 1997, when he surpassed Cliff Bastin's mark with a hat-trick against Bolton Wanderers.

Henry has played 14 more games in the famous white-sleeved shirts than Wright to reach his record haul, although the new Gunners goal king has scored five fewer goals from the penalty spot.

Henry has been much more reliant on his dominant right foot than Wright, and the Frenchman has scored just seven (4 percent) of his goals using his head compared with the now television presenter's 23 (12 percent).

Henry will now be looking to set the record as high as possible to ensure The Gunners regain their lost ground in The Premiership.
