00:00November the 4th 2001 and Arsenal came into this game on the back of an 8-match unbeaten run
00:06That said, they managed only one win in four games at Highbury since the start of the season
00:11with their best performances coming on the road
00:14Charlton had only scored one goal in four and needed points badly
00:18They were hovering just above the drop zone
00:20David Seaman sat this one out with a shoulder injury
00:23but star striker Thierry Henry was in formidable form
00:27He led the way in the premiership with 13 goals in just 15 matches
00:31Arsenal had a number of problems in defence
00:34Dixon, Adams, Campbell and Upson were all out
00:36Gilles Grimondi was drafted in to partner Martin Keown in the centre of defence
00:41Charlton hadn't won at Highbury for 46 years so they had their work cut out
00:46Alan Kerbishley had been approached by West Ham in the summer
00:49but had chosen to extend his long tenure at Charlton
00:53Without a big squad to choose from he was hampered by a number of injuries
00:56but key midfieldmen Mark Kinsella and Klaus Jensen were back after early season knocks
01:02Mark Howsey, the man in charge and the sunshine in North London
01:06The commentator is Ian Crocker
01:09Charlton haven't actually won here at Highbury since 1955 would you believe
01:14It's been a long, long wait
01:16but will the wait go on?
01:24FANS SHOUT OUT
01:45Scott Parker with an early signal of intent
01:49on Robert Perez, the Frenchman
01:54FANS SHOUT OUT
01:59Patrick Vieira
02:02calmly across to Lauren
02:06Dirk Kaptel-Jugberg, Arsenal getting into their stride
02:09and Dirk Kaptel will look to latch on to this
02:11and kindly came a long way, Henry!
02:14Oh that was delightful, Dirk Kaptel incredibly off the line
02:18FANS SHOUT OUT
02:21Thierry Henry's effort looked like it was going in
02:24look at the ball, just slowed up there
02:26we'll have another look in a moment because Arsenal are ready to put more pressure on
02:33Perez now
02:36tucks it through
02:38Oh yes!
02:40Thierry Henry
02:42denied by the post a moment ago
02:46but he came back for more, he usually does
02:51it's a flying start for Arsenal in this London derby
02:54and Charlton just couldn't cope with
02:58an assault on their goal
03:00Perez slipping it through to Henry
03:03well he hit the other post
03:06a minute earlier
03:08this one went in off the post
03:11FANS SHOUT OUT
03:14a fine strike really
03:16a French connection pays off for Arsenal yet again
03:26Van Bronckhorst
03:29Henry chasing
03:31could be a long afternoon this for Charlton
03:33Mark Fish has got it though and
03:38he will seek out Johansson
03:40it's come off Lauren
03:48another goal of immense quality from Thierry Henry
03:51his 14th of the season in 16 games
04:02Lauren, Dirk Kaptel
04:07the lay-off from Henry
04:10and Arsenal finding all sorts of space
04:13Perez
04:15they're looking for a second already, Robert Perez
04:19just wide
04:22the man who set up the goal for Henry
04:27decided to go for glory himself here and who can blame him
04:30Perez
04:32really is having a sensational season for Arsenal
04:37Buell was left grounded by Keown
04:39Van Bronckhorst has found
04:42fellow Dutchman Dirk Kaptel now
04:44it's Vieira
04:52Henry
04:56Charlton struggling to cope
04:58CHEERING
05:03Arsenal are toying with their London rivals
05:08it's been an impressive start from the Gunners
05:16Van Bronckhorst then whips the corner in
05:18Vieira's had that, it's another one off the line
05:22two off the line from Charlton now
05:28Van Bronckhorst
05:34Powell's up and under
05:43Ashley Pearl's challenge actually rolled right across the line
05:53away by Keown
05:59CHEERING
06:03Jensen
06:05straight through to Richard Wright
06:09who joined from Ipswich in the summer for £6m
06:12getting a run in the side with Davis-Stewart injured
06:15Robert Perez going on a run for Arsenal
06:20Dirk Kaptel
06:21looking for Ljungberg
06:23ooh
06:25Brand got caught out
06:26and it's just wide from guess who
06:30Thierry Henry
06:31but you really don't want to make that sort of slip against Arsenal
06:35normally you will be punished
06:37lovely touch from Dirk Kaptel
06:39Powell's header away
06:43they seem to want all day to clear
06:49Scott Parker
06:51just bobbled off Van Bronckhorst
06:53and now Vieira
06:56ooh
07:00Charlton
07:02might consider themselves a little fortunate
07:04trying to be one down at the moment
07:05they haven't offered any sort of attacking threat
07:08although having said that
07:09Johansson's cross
07:11and Keown
07:13much quicker to react to it
07:16Woo!
07:24Charlton are dallying
07:25and as soon as they dally
07:27Arsenal move in
07:29Dennis Birkham
07:32Ashley Coles
07:35patrolling the area on the edge of the box
07:38Van Bronckhorst
07:41Henri
07:42here is Cole
07:43ooh
07:46well
07:48you could see him moving up
07:51taking up position for quite a while then
07:54and Henri spotted him as well
07:56lovely little dick in
07:58no end product in the end
07:59and it probably deserved one
08:00if only for that pass alone
08:02blazed over
08:03blazed over
08:17here's Perez
08:18Henri
08:23Freddie Ljungberg
08:25two men on him
08:26Towell and Kamczewski
08:27here's Lauren
08:30Ljungberg again
08:31not quite sure which way to turn
08:34Van Bronckhorst
08:36Henri
08:37he knows which way to turn
08:38ooh
08:39nearly
08:42just able to bring it away
08:45but another
08:46intricate move from Arsenal
08:48exquisite at times today
08:50but only one goal to show for their considerable efforts
08:55Jonathan Johansson
08:57no way past Grimaldi for him
09:03Ljungberg
09:06Lauren
09:10taking a direct route
09:11but it could pay off
09:12for Henri
09:14no
09:18well Arsenal could have had half a dozen by now
09:20at least
09:24and Henri could have had a hat-trick
09:29it's a very one-sided contest
09:31at Highbury
09:3515 goal attempts already from Arsenal
09:39in 33 minutes
09:43we can safely say they're in control
09:45but there's only one goal limit
09:46and that will encourage Charlton
09:51a firm challenge from Cole
09:52and an unfair one as it turned out
09:54Ashley Cole is penalised
09:57not afraid to put himself about, Cole
10:00as Jonathan Johansson discovered
10:02and I think he's going to get a card
10:07ooh
10:08he definitely took the man
10:10crunching challenge on Johansson
10:12Ashley Cole
10:14receives the first yellow card of the game
10:16from Mark Halsey
10:20a decision greeted with boos from the home fans
10:22but
10:25Cole sees yellow
10:27and had to check carefully
10:28to avoid a card
10:30of the same
10:31colour of his shirt
10:35here comes the free kick
10:36ooh and Charlton have got an equaliser
10:39and it's Steve Brown
10:43Highbury stunned by that
10:44they haven't been in the game at all
10:48and then suddenly
10:50Steve Brown pops up
10:52to steer his header into the corner
10:58it's only his
10:59second
11:00goal
11:01in the Premiership
11:04Charlton's longest serving player
11:07has bailed them out
11:09but Arsenal must be kicking themselves
11:10they've been in control
11:12yet it's 1-1
11:15Dennis Bergkamp
11:16ooh it was awkward for Kylie
11:20but Charlton
11:22even though they were living dangerously
11:24survive and get a free kick out of it as well
11:28Charlton
11:36Charlton got plenty of bodies around
11:37Dean Kylie
11:39the horrible bounce right in front of the keeper
11:50Charlton ending the half on a high
11:55a game that they barely deserve to be in really
11:57but they are very much in it now
11:59one apiece
12:01Steve Brown with the
12:02equaliser
12:03cracking header
12:04after
12:05Henri
12:06had put Arsenal in front
12:10it's a London derby
12:11in the FA Barclay Cup Premiership
12:13Kaczewski's free kick
12:14Richard Wright struggling
12:15and it's gone in
12:17as Jason Newell challenged him
12:19another free kick
12:20causing
12:21consternation
12:22and Richard Wright
12:24may well have put that in himself
12:27and Charlton
12:29incredibly
12:30are
12:312-1
12:32up
12:36a bit of a clanger
12:37from Richard Wright
12:38on the day before his 24th birthday
12:41as Leicester City
12:42are
12:432-1
12:44up
12:46Richard Wright
12:47on the day before his 24th birthday
12:49has left
12:50Arsene Wenger
12:51and Pat Rice's Arsenal
12:52behind
12:53and Alan Kersley's Charlton
12:55against all odds really
12:57have a 2-1 lead
12:58and football really can be
12:59a funny old game
13:01now
13:03Scott Parker's challenge
13:05Henri Fury is with him
13:11and Charlton were really struggling
13:13I don't think Scott Parker
13:14cared how he did it
13:15he was going to stop
13:16Henri
13:18in his tracks
13:31Dirk Kapp standing over the free kick
13:32Van Bronckhorst is also there
13:35it's Dennis Dirk Kapp
13:36it's against the Charlton Ward
13:40seconds remaining
13:43Jason Newell
13:48Dirk Kapp
13:49can Arsenal respond
13:50just before half-time
13:51it's Robert Pires now
13:54Van Bronckhorst
13:55goes for goal
13:56fine strike
13:57on the rebound
13:58Martin Keown
14:00delays it over
14:02well well
14:05he hasn't scored for over a year
14:07Keown
14:08he hasn't got one in the Premiership
14:09since April 2000
14:12and at half-time
14:13at Highbury
14:14Arsene Wenger's Arsenal
14:15find themselves behind
14:16having controlled so much
14:17in the first half
14:19Richard Wright
14:21got it wrong
14:22and at half-time
14:23in the FA Barclay Cup
14:24Premiership
14:25at Highbury
14:26it's Arsenal 1
14:27Charlton Athletic
14:282
14:43Charlton are 2-1 up here
14:46against Arsenal
14:47mind you
14:48they were 3-2 up here
14:49last season
14:50and ended up losing
14:515-3
14:53well I'm sure they can expect
14:54another barrage
14:55from Arsenal
14:56who can barely believe
14:58they are behind
15:00Henry to Birdcat
15:01they're looking to get going
15:02straight away
15:03in this second half
15:04Freddy Ljungberg chasing
15:05Kylie's come a long way
15:07and it's spun off Ljungberg
15:08in the end
15:10with the red streak
15:11through his hair
15:13Swedish international
15:15three years at the club now
15:42Henri
15:43Van Bronckhorst
15:45Henri again
15:47it's Van Bronckhorst
15:49just wide
15:50what a wonderful opportunity
15:52at the start of the second half
15:53for Arsenal
15:55Henri
15:56lovely pass that
15:59just wide for Van Bronckhorst
16:00much to the
16:01dismay
16:02of the Arsenal fans
16:05at the north bank end
16:08Giovani
16:09Giovani
16:11Van Bronckhorst
16:12still looking for his first
16:13Arsenal goal in fact
16:14which his 15th appearance
16:15for them
16:20not a bad kick
16:21for Thierry Henry
16:25they all stand up
16:26at the north bank end
16:27Henri's cross
16:29chested down by
16:30Scott Parker
16:36Ronaldo Cortirez
16:37may have come in on that
16:39but
16:41he
16:42merely stood and admired the view
16:48Arsenal looking a little casual
16:50and Vieira
16:51has got a job on his hands here
16:52and
16:54Klaus Jensen's chip
16:55is absolutely
16:56awesome
16:59and Charlton
17:01go 3-1 up at Highbury
17:04and you can see what it means
17:05to them
17:10a concerned look
17:11on the face of Arsene Wenger
17:12and no wonder
17:13because Arsenal
17:14dithered and dallied
17:15and of all people
17:17it was Vieira
17:18it wasn't the best of throws
17:19from Ashley Cole
17:20who's had a nightmare
17:21starting the second half
17:22but Vieira got caught out
17:23by Jonathan Johansson
17:25that though
17:26is a goal of the highest quality
17:28from Klaus Jensen
17:37Jason Newell
17:40Luke Young
17:46Kinsella to Young again
17:50oh here's a chance
17:51for Jonathan Johansson
17:53and Wright spread himself
17:54and that put off
17:55the Finnish international
17:57but unbelievably
17:58incredibly
17:59it could have been 4-1 here
18:00and perhaps should have been
18:10and Arsenal
18:11rather wounded
18:12by recent
18:14events here
18:16having been in control
18:17for most of the game
18:18incredibly 3-1 down
18:19it's almost impossible
18:20to comprehend
18:21Vieira
18:25Thierry Henry
18:27and Luke Young's challenge
18:30Vieira though
18:31finds Giovanni Van Bronckhorst
18:34his cross
18:35away by fist
18:36but only to Henry
18:37and Luke Young
18:38got in his way
18:40and Fisch now
18:41gives it to Koncheski
18:43who decided to
18:45seek out Jason Newell
18:48it's going to be a free kick
18:49I think
18:50for a foul from Patrick Vieira
19:08Arsene Wenger's Arsenal
19:11ironically have got things
19:12right on the road this season
19:13which was always a sore point
19:14for them last season
19:16now they can't get it right
19:17at home incredibly
19:25firm challenge from Brown
19:26and Vieira
19:27and Klaus Jensen
19:28is on his way again
19:29and he slips it through
19:30to Jason Newell
19:31and they've got another one
19:38this is definitely
19:39unbelievable
19:46one of the
19:47shock scorelines
19:48of the premiership season
19:52Jensen
19:54slipped it through
19:56and a
19:57fine finish from Newell
19:59has made it
20:00Arsenal 1
