Under that manager, this team became known for intricate, one-touch (*) pass-based team goals, such as a legendary exchange of flicks by Jack Wilshere (10[1])and Olivier Giroud. This club became the only team to finish a Premier League season undefeated during their 2004 Invincibles season, during which they were led by Thierry Henry and manager Arsène Wenger. For 10 points, name this North London club nicknamed the Gunners who play in red. ■END■
