Chelsea fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Declan Rice for West Ham United against their team at Stamford Bridge.

Rice was in action for West Ham in the London derby against Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The 20-year-old played well in the middle of the park, protected the back-four, worked hard, and did not give much time or space to Mason Mount.

According to WhoScored, the England international – who can operate as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder – had a pass accuracy of 80%, won four headers, took 45 touches, attempted two dribbles, and made three tackles, two interceptions and one clearance.

Rice was on the books of Chelsea from 2006 until 2014 before he moved to West Ham, and the 20-year-old has now established himself as an important player in manager Manuel Pellegrini’s team.

Chelsea fans were impressed with the display produced by Rice for West Ham in the Premier League game on Saturday and have praised him on Twitter.
