He came to prominence during his time at Arsenal between 1996 and 2005, where he won three FA Premier League titles and four FA was last night humbled on his Highbury homecoming by his Arsenal replacement Cesc Fabregas and best pal Best Pal (born February 12, 1988 in Ramona, California - died November 24, 1998 in Ramona, California) was a champion racehorse, who to this day holds the record for purses of any California-bred racehorse, earning his owners, the Golden Eagle Farm, US$5. Thierry Henry. Juventus were run ragged and finished with just nine men after the 18-year-old Spaniard rammed home a magnificent 40th-minute goal. Henry then smashed home a sensational second to leave Fabio Capello's men with a mountain to climb in the second leg. Mauro Camoranesi and Jonathan Zebina were sent off in the closing minutes for two bookable offences. Vieira was also booked and will also miss the second leg. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: "There was one more goal in us tonight and that will be a regret we take with us. "Patrick suffered because we dominated the game. Fabregas has great quality and gets stronger." Fabregas said: "We can get even better. We dominated the game, although it's not over yet." Henry added: "It was a great team performance and it was vital that we didn't concede a goal." Benfica and Barcelona drew last night's other quarter-final 0-0 in Lisbon.
