Henry got 2 of Arsenal's 3 first-half goals, first clipping a great pass from Petit under the keeper and then stroking the ball past him after taking the ball past several defenders.

That was on the stroke of half-time. Between Henry's goals he created on for Parlour who showed good composure to round the keeper and slotting home from a narrow angle.

The Arsenal appeared to think the game won, and nearly came unstuck when 2 Watford goals in as many minutes brought them right back into it.

But the Gunners hung on, and the win takes us 3 points clear of Leeds (who drew with Newcastle) and the same distance behind Liverpool, with a game in hand (and a goals-diference advantage) over them both. Man United may have won the title yesterday, but the race for second and third looks likely to go all the way. At a time like this you have to admit that UEFA's crazy complicated qualification system does at least keep things interesting.
