West Ham United picked up another impressive result in the Premier League as they drew 1-1 at Wembley.
Declan Rice
West Ham fans have been taking to Twitter to laud Declan Rice after the youngster put in a fantastic performance as the Irons followed their win earlier in the week by drawing 1-1 away at Tottenham.
David Moyes’ men got themselves out of the bottom three on Tuesday as they beat fellow strugglers West Brom in dramatic fashion, and they would have been hoping to put more daylight between themselves and the relegation zone as they faced Mauricio Pochettino’s side at Wembley – a ground that they have already won at this season.
It looked like it was going to be a long night for the Hammers as Spurs piled the pressure on, but it was Moyes’ men who broke the deadlock with arguably one of the goals of the season.
Pedro Obiang found the back of the net from long range with an absolutely thunderous strike that Hugo Lloris stood no chance of keeping out 20 minutes from the end.
Tottenham would equalise with a goal almost as good, with Son Heung-min smashing the ball past Adrian with six minutes left, but Spurs were unable to find a winner despite having 31 attempts on goal in total.
One of the reasons that West Ham did manage to keep the home side at bay was the display of Declan Rice. The teenager was exceptional, making a ridiculous number of blocks and clearances.
Unsurprisingly, the Hammers faithful have heaped praise on the academy graduate and expressed their excitement regarding his potential after another brilliant performance.
Here is the best of the reaction…
