Failure to control Henry leads to DC downfall

WASHINGTON ? Despite Thierry Henry?s slow start to his 2011 MLS season, Ben Olsen and the D.C. United coaching staff knew that containing the striker was vital to succeed against New York on Thursday evening.

Pitted against central defenders Dejan Jakovic and Perry Kitchen, Henry had to be contained in order to get something out of this game. However, things went off the rails early, and the Red Bulls striker?s two goals were the catalyst in a 4-0 humbling loss on home soil.
