Arsenal 2 - 2 Chelsea (Premier League 2004/05)

An amazing comeback from Chelsea in the 2004/05 season which was a risk for Arsenal's title chances that season.

I really miss how football was back then. A murky, late afternoon at an old school gound like Highbury. Both teams packed with great footballers, and not only that, real characters. Unlike modern social media footballers, with the personality akin to a bag of cement. And we had Andy Gray.

The stadium, the commentary, the players damn I miss those days! Henry was that good Cech didn’t even dive.

Miss that era of the Premier League. Feels like a bygone time. So many legends. When rivalries still had a proper edge and players from rival clubs weren't mates on or off the pitch

I watched this game Live. Me a Chelsea Fan. My twin brother an Arsenal fan. At the time Arsenal were the invincibles and Chelsea were starting to form a team under the Abramovich era. We're in Australia - So it was deep into the night and early hours of the morning. I was nervous because Arsenal at Highbury with the team they had. Scary. I was hopeful though...Then Henry scores within 75 seconds and I was left stunned. Even though I am a Chelsea fan I still watch Henry's goal back time and again - it was brilliant. What a nail biting game this was. Me & my brother both going back n forth in emotions. Memories we'll never forget. What a game!

Thierry Henry. What a player !!! Best player in the world in his prime. Greatest to ever grace the premier league.

What a shame Henry missed that last chance. Would’ve been a historic hat trick.

I love that Henry hugs Terry as soon as the final whistle went. After retirement, Terry spoke about how Henry was his toughest opponent in EPL but he respected the fact that Henry would come to him after the final whistle to compliment him and also tell him how he could further improve his defending. Henry for his part spoke about how when Terry first broke through, he did not expect that Terry would be as good as he did become. But Henry liked how Terry kept improving so he made sure after most games to tell him how much he had improved and how he could become even better. Perhaps this match was the turning point in the balance of power between Chelsea and Arsenal and perhaps, for Henry, the first time the realization that Chelsea and not Manchester United might be the hardest team to beat.

The matches the players even the commentators of that time were the best..I miss those golden days of epl

[DavidGao]

It was a massive clash back then in season 04-05. In that season, only Arsenal could penetrate Chelsea's defense to create a sitter chance which is blown off by Henry. Chelsea's defense was the best in Premier League and Europe in that season.

Oh man if Henry had scored that for his hatrick and the winner this woulda gone down as one of the greatest performances in Pl history

Highbury...I loved old english stadiums

2 seasons earlier. Another team wearing all blue scored an equalising header to the goalkeepers right at that same end of the pitch to make it 2-2 and with that they also went on to win the title that season.

1:51 - 2:31 Who came here after watching the controversial free kick in the Indian Super League 2022-23 knockout Stage between Bengaluru FC vs Kerala FC? 🙋🏾‍♂️

Andy Gray couldn't believe that Henry miss. Neither could I. Wonder what would or could have happened if he'd put that away.

[romanista]

Chelsea conceded only 15 goals that season..three were by arsenal.

[marianpyter]

football was on another level in 2000s

[ulrichpalra]

I can't believe Henry missed that last chance. What???? 😲😲
