Henry sets new French record

Published: 18 October 2007

Thierry Henry broke Michel Platini's French national team scoring record, getting a pair of goals Wednesday night in a 2-0 victory over Lithuania in a European Championship qualifier.

Henry scored in the 79th and 80th minutes to give him 43 goals in 96 games. Platini, now the head of European soccer's governing body, had 41 goals in 72 games for France from 1976-87.

"It really pleases me, especially as they are important goals," said Henry, who made his debut for France in 1997. "It's beyond me."

France (8-2-1) leads Group B with 25 points, one more than Scotland (8-3), which lost 2-0 at Georgia. Italy (7-1-2) is third with 23 points and a game in hand.
