The English star continued to have a truly impressive performance in the Gunners’ victory.

Returning to the Premier League, Arsenal will welcome Wolves at home. As expected, the Gunners showed their superiority in class right from the first minutes of the match, constantly causing the away team’s goal to experience turbulence.

When the match had just passed 13 minutes, the score was 2-0 in favor of Arsenal with two goals from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. The Arsenal defense’s mistake allowed Matheus Cunha to shorten the score to 1-2, but this was all Wolves could do.

Although he did not directly put his name on the scoreboard, it is easy to confirm that Declan Rice contributed greatly to Arsenal’s minimal victory.

According to data from Fotmob, Arsenal achieved a 56% ball control rate, only allowing Wolves to launch only 6 shots. And it can be said that Rice’s excellence in the midfield is the reason why the Wolves were completely overwhelmed.

The English midfielder had 99 touches of the ball in this match, more than any other player on the field. He made a strong impression with 75/83 passes to the correct address – reaching an accuracy rate of 90%.

In particular, Rice had 4 accurate passes over the line and 17 passes into the final third of the field (the most in the match).

Besides, the former West Ham United star also left a strong mark with 3 finishing situations, 2 clearance situations, 5 interception situations, 5 ball recoveries and 4 duels won.

Against Wolves, Rice clearly showed the image of a true “boss” in the midfield.
