Watch former Arsenal star Thierry Henry’s amazing backheeled assist in France’s 3-2 win over Sweden.
The Barcelona star’s superb flick with his heel found Sidney Govou for the the third French goal as they came from behind away from home.
The Shropshire Star will be bringing you all the best international goals this season.
Two second-half goals by Govou were the difference as France held on for victory over Sweden in an entertaining friendly in Gothenburg.
Interim captain Henrik Larsson opened the scoring for the hosts early on at Ullevi Stadium but France got themselves back on level terms through Karim Benzema midway through the first half.
Les Bleus nosed ahead after 61 minutes when Benzema’s Lyon team-mate Govou sidefooted home, before the winger doubled his tally 16 minutes from time with the goal that proved to be the winner.
Kim Kallstrom’s late penalty proved nothing more than a consolation for the Swedes as the latest chapter of Raymond Domenech’s reign as Les Bleus coach got off to a winning start.
