Arsenal fans felt excited with midfielder Declan Rice’s performance against Brighton

Declan Rice just had an impressive 90 minutes against Brighton. The excellence of the former West Ham star helped the “Gunners” win 2-0.

This achievement helps Mikel Arteta and his team return to the top position in the Premier League. Even though he didn’t score, Declan Rice deserved to be one of the best players in the match.

Statistics from Sofascore show that players born in 1999 appear in every hot spot on the field. He made 3 successful long passes, won 4 Duels, 2 successful tackles and 2 successful dribbles.

Declan Rice even almost created a masterpiece when he made a solo pass through a forest of Brighton players. Unfortunately, in the final step, the England star’s left-foot shot was not dangerous enough.

Witnessing Declan Rice’s performance, many Arsenal fans felt crazy and thought that £105 million for the former West Ham star was still too cheap.

One fan commented: “That’s why we paid West Ham more than 100 million pounds to own him. He is the missing piece of the puzzle for Arsenal for so long.”

Another excited: “It’s really hard to find words right now to describe how important Declan Rice is to Arsenal. He’s giving me Patrick Vieira vibes. That’s probably the biggest compliment I can give any midfielder.”

A third person said that Arsenal bought Declan Rice too cheap: “Pay West Ham another 100 million pounds.”

The midfielder has been a superb addition since Arsenal acquired him in the summer.

Mikel Arteta courted him for a year and had to fend off competition from Manchester City to sign the Englishman.

The Gunners broke their transfer record to make the move happen, yet Rice’s performance has made the transfer look like a steal.

The former West Ham player has hardly put a foot wrong since moving to the club and was pivotal to the win against Brighton.

After the game, an impressed Clinton Morrison said on the BBC:

“Rice has been outstanding. He’s a big influence on this team.

“He covers the ground, he drives forward and he intercepts. He does it all. I think he’s magnificent.”
