After the match ended Sunday, Henry was seen angrily gesticulating and aggressively shouting towards a group of Arsenal fans. Henry, who made a dream return to the club, scoring a winner against Leeds United in the FA Cup, came on as a substitute in the 63rd minute in the shock away defeat.

Henry gave the ball away cheaply in Swansea's build-up to the third goal, enraging the Gunners' fans. The Sun reported that an angry fan was heard shouting after Arsenal's sixth away defeat of the season: "Where is the heart and the character and the fight?"

Henry shouted back: "Get behind the team and support the players and don't be negative." The 34-year-old returned to Arsenal on a two-month loan deal from MLS side New York Red Bulls.
