Arsenal great Henry takes out weekly MLS award with NYRB

Thierry Henry was named the MLS Player of the Week for Week 28 following his performance in New York Red Bulls' win over Columbus Crew.

The French striker scored a ninth minute equalizer at the Red Bull Arena before setting up Dax McCarty for the goal which put his side ahead.

Then late in the match, Henry produced a brilliant finish from a corner to allow New York to win 3-1 and cement their spot in the 2012 MLS play-offs.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona star has now scored 13 goals and provided nine assists in 20 appearances this season and has received four Player of the Week awards as well as March's Player of the Month prize.
