Thierry Henry returned for Arsenal and scored the only goal of the game to win a tight FA Cup tie.
Leeds set out their stall to frustrate Arsenal, they limited the Premier League side to only a host of half chances, and they looked to be heading for a replay until substitute Henry scored the only goal of the game.
Henry scored with just twelve minutes remaining as he got in behind the Leeds defence to shoot across Andy Lonergan with a trademark finish.
Leeds made few chances but Luciano Becchio and Ross McCormack missed good chances.
Becchio blazed over in the first half when in a good position and McCormack could only divert his header from close range straight into Szczesny`s hands late in the game.
