Declan Rice's Impressive Display
Rice's all-around performance earned him special recognition from TV pundits Micah Richards and Gary Lineker. Richards, a former Manchester City defender and Arsenal fan, praised Rice on The Rest is Football podcast.
"It is interesting watching Arsenal, because we talk about them every week, and it is the same old story isn't it? They keep a clean sheet and they deny opportunities, they work really hard and I don't like singling out just one player, because I feel like it is a team effort, and I have to give Arteta credit for building that. It looked like it was coming, couldn't quite get over the line, now it looks like it is back. But I have to identify Declan Rice. Declan Rice has taken his game to the next level, where you are talking about him being one of the best in world football."
