Piers Morgan has singled out Declan Rice for praise following the midfielder’s standout performance for Arsenal in their 5-0 victory against Sheffield United.
While Eddie Nketiah rightfully earned the Man of the Match award for his hat-trick in the game, he was not the only top performer in the match. Several Arsenal players displayed excellent form, and the team delivered one of their best performances of the season.
With questions arising about how Arsenal would cope in the absence of Gabriel Jesus, Nketiah stepped up to the challenge. However, it was Rice who orchestrated proceedings behind the striker. Since joining the club in the summer, Rice has been in superb form and was virtually unstoppable in both the defensive and offensive phases of the game. This exceptional performance led Piers Morgan to commend him.
After the game, the TV show host tweeted:
“Arsenal have been so good today.. and once again, this guy’s run the show: Declan Rice”
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is hard not to see how terrific Rice was in that game and he was easily one of our best players on the day.
The midfielder is someone we can trust to deliver whenever he steps on the pitch and we hope he stays fit for the rest of the term.
What a domineering performance and presence from RICE. He was everywhere picking out our players with right passes.
He was a huge presence.
Arsenal performed extremely well in the game through out with number of players contributed greately as the striker scored hatrick Arsenal steel need another striker so as to bridge the gap between the world Best clubs not only in premiership competition in the rest of games
A consistent eight rating since joining the Arsenal outfit
“A consistent eight rating?” Not for me!! Never once below a nine!
By a country mile our best central defensive AND ball progessing midfielder since Gilberto.
Personally, I think Rice even better and the best EVER I have seen in our shirt in that role.
At £105 mill, he looks the bargain of all time!
I was thinking the same about the comparison to “The Wall” Gilberto, no fuss, pops up everywhere, love watching him and the wait was worth it and the money, well he is worth much more than what we paid for
Am inclined to agree with you all
He’s like a cross between gilberto and Vieira for me. Elements of both players.
Value for money: Declan Rice
