Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has launched a stunning attack on city rivals Tottenham.

White Hart Lane exploded in joyous celebration when Jermaine Jenas rattled in a late equaliser to claim a precious points from a 2-2 draw with the Gunners which keeps Martin Jol's team on track for a place in next season's UEFA Cup.


Fans were also on cloud nine that their team had not lost on their own territory to their most bitter rivals and lapped up the drama of the occasion.

But bitter Henry wrote in yesterday's match programme for the home game against Fulham: "What makes me laugh is the way Tottenham always celebrate whenever they get a draw against us.

"I would like to remind them that once again they have not made the Champions League. So I was amazed to see their reaction at the full-time whistle.

"I had to look twice at the score on the TV because I thought they had won it the way they were celebrating. When I celebrated my equaliser against them at home last season I did so because the goal had a meaning.

"It turned out to be an important goal in the race for fourth place. I wasn't going to celebrate just because we drew against Tottenham.

"It was the same when we won the league there in 2004. They equalised to make it 2-2 that day and when I saw (Mauricio) Taricco celebrate so much that he injured himself, I said to him 'you do realise we only needed a point and now we are celebrating the title on your ground."
