Remember Arsenal’s 5-1 Champions League win over Inter Milan at the San Siro

With the score 1-1 at half-time, Arsenal were on their way out of the Champions League and yet they produced an inspired second-half performance – one of the club’s best ever in Europe.

“I remember the first half being fairly even, but in the second half when Henry, (Robert) Pires, Edu and co. shot down towards our corner, ran rampant and sent us ecstatic!” added Guy Wisemen, who was also in the match.

Arsenal retook the lead within five minutes of the restart when Henry cut in and found Freddie Ljungberg, who fired into the bottom corner.

It was then a case of Gunners dominance as they looked for a third and a two-goal cushion and it finally came in the 85th minute through a Henry stunner.

The Frenchman collected the ball from inside his own half, charged into the box, beat Javier Zanetti with a trick and smashed one into the bottom corner.

In the Inter section, Richard had already been sent off for celebrating Ljungberg’s goal, while Kelvin “went nuts” for Henry’s strike but managed to keep “speaking a bit of Italian”.

Three minutes later, Arsenal grabbed another when Henry’s cross missed Ljungberg in the middle but fell kindly for Edu, who sent an open goal.

Chaos, confusion and delirium for Arsenal supporters.

A minute later and the thrashing was over when Jeremie Aliadiere, on as a late substitute, slipped the ball to Robert Pires for number five.
