Piers Morgan has praised Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice on X for his performance against Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in London on Saturday evening.
Declan Rice started the Premier League match for Arsenal against Chelsea.
Rice, who joined Arsenal from West Ham United in the summer transfer window, scored the first Gunners’ goal.
It was a wonderful long-range effort.
I believe that it has to be considered one of the best goals in the Premier League so far this season.
The Premier League game between Chelsea and Arsenal ended in a 2-2 draw.
David Raya in the Arsenal goal had a very bad game.
Piers Morgan praises Arsenal star Declan Rice vs Chelsea
Arsenal fan and TV presenter Piers Morgan was hugely impressed with Rice, not just for his performance in the London derby, but also for his post-match interview.
After the game, Rice, who can also play as a defender, said on Sky Sports that he himself played some slopped passes and was not at his best in the game.
Arsenal are now second in the Premier League table with 21 points from nine matches.
Mikel Arteta’s side are level on points with leaders and defending champions Manchester City, who have also played nine games.
Declan Rice a consistent performer for Arsenal
In my opinion, Declan Rice is one of the most consistent players, not just for Arsenal but in the entire Premier League.
Rice always gives his all and turns up in matches.
The midfielder was not at his best in the first half against Chelsea, but he changed the game with his brilliant goal.
Arsenal were so much better after that goal.
Rice is a leader in the middle of the park who lets his football do the talking.
In my view, for Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season, Rice has to be on top form throughout.
