Henry card will stand, says UEFA
LONDON, Oct 18: European football's governing body UEFA said that the yellow card Thierry Henry received for alleged handball in Arsenal's 1-0 Champions League loss to CSKA Moscow will stand.
Henry looked to have earned a point for the Gunners with five minutes to play in the Russian capital on Tuesday when he controlled a deep cross from the right at the far post with his chest, and stroked the ball into the net.

However, the referee felt that Henry had in fact used his arm, ruled out the goal and booked the Arsenal skipper. Henry was left fuming by the disallowed goal.
"The referee saw a handball when there wasn't a handball. You will have to ask him why this is so," said Henry. "I know it was a clean and clear goal.
The keeper and defenders did not call it, only a linesman 60 yards away." But UEFA said Henry would not be able to appeal the punishment meted out to him.
