PARIS, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Thierry Henry doubled helping France sink Tunisia 3-1 in a friendly on Tuesday. Tunisia forward Issam Jemaa twisted his way past defender Jean-Alain Boumsong to put the visitors ahead with a low angled shot 30 minutes into an entertaining game.
France leveled 10 minutes later with a superb goal from Henry, who fired into the top corner from just outside the box after a one-two with playmaker Yoann Gourcuff.
