Milan marksman makes move
Henry, who had scored a hat-trick in Arsenal's previous home game, was the only player in the top five to score this weekend. The only other top-ten player on target was Andriy Shevchenko. This enabled the Ukrainian, who struck in AC Milan's 2-1 defeat of AC Siena, to move up the rankings into a tie for sixth with Newcastle United FC's Alan Shearer and Djibril Cissé of AJ Auxerre on 42 points.
