Arsenal FC striker Thierry Henry blamed the referee's decision not to allow a goal from Patrick Vieira's header for 'Les Bleus' at the 1-1 draw against South Korea last night.

"We could have been and should have been and normally would have been 2-0 up," Henry said.

"We didn't complain although we knew the ball was clearly in," he added about Patrick Vieira's header in the 32nd minute of the match, which was cleared by South Korea's goalkeeper Lee Won-jae after it had passed the line.

"We had a clear penalty against Switzerland, the ball went in today. Things are not going our way," Arsenal's captain said.
