Arsenal captain Thierry Henry said his side's 3-0 victory over Liverpool wasn't a warning note to their Premiership challengers rather than a confidence booster for the team after their recent string of disappointing results. "This game wasn't to make a point to everybody or send a signal to everybody," he was quoted as saying by Arsenal's official website on Sunday. "It was, first of all, for us. It was pretty important from a team point of view," added Henry, who had an excellent game against the Reds despite failing to find the net. Henry's side conceded an injury-time goal to lose against West Ham 1-0 in their previous league game following a 1-1 draw at home with Everton. Arsenal are now third with 21 points, ten adrift of leaders Manchester United but they still have one match in hand. Yet, the French striker still sees his side's record as a good one but stressed that the team should stay on the winning course to maintain the supporters' faith. "If you look at our last eight games, it's not a bad run at the end of the day - winning at Man United and again against Liverpool," Henry said.
Flamini scored in Arsenal's big win "But you know how fragile it can be. If we don't win against Newcastle next week, people will doubt our possibility of doing well in the League." He praised the team spirit during Liverpool's game and said that all the players should be credited for the victory. "The commitment was more than 100 per cent. You saw everybody defending. It was pretty weird," Henry said. "We got a defender on the score sheet. You saw everybody was happy with whoever put the ball in the back of the net." Defenders Kolo Toure and William Gallas and defensive-minded Mathieu Flamini scored rare goals to give Arsenal the victory. Henry didn't forget to salute the visitors for their effort. "Perhaps 3-0 was a bit harsh because I thought Liverpool played a great first half," he said.
