Declan Rice has taken to Twitter to react after West Ham battled back to beat Burnley at Turf Moor last night, securing a 2-1 win in the process.
A penalty from Chris Wood opened the scoring, but Michail Antonio headed in an equaliser just two minutes later.
West Ham’s No.30 then put the Irons ahead just eight minutes later.
Despite Antonio’s heroics, he didn’t get a shoutout in Rice’s tweet, but someone else did.
West Ham’s No.41 was left dazzled by Manuel Lanzini’s display against Sean Dyche’s side.
You can see what Rice tweeted about the Argentina international below.
Lanzini really was excellent, on what was just his fourth Premier League start of the campaign.
As WhoScored shows, the £9 million man made more passes than anyone else on the pitch with 78.
He also ended the game with a pass success rate of 94.9%, which was again better than anyone else.
Lanzini also got stuck in defensively with one tackle and two interceptions.
It was a fine display from the South American, who was lining up in an unfamiliar deeper role alongside Tomáš Souček, as Rice is still injured.
David Moyes also deserves credit for realising that Lanzini’s abilities would suit a deeper role – it was a wonderful tactical decision from the Scotsman.
