West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice is a major fan favourite.
West Ham United made it three wins in a row on Saturday afternoon as they beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at the London Stadium.
After a 3-0 win at Newcastle United and a 3-1 victory over Cardiff City, West Ham were looking to make it a trio of wins in a week – and got exactly that.
James McArthur put Palace in front, but second half goals from Robert Snodgrass, Javier Hernandez and Felipe Anderson handed West Ham the win, with Jeffrey Schlupp’s late goal little more than a consolation for Palace.
West Ham are in fine form right now and will hope to continue that against Fulham this weekend, but the club have pointed something out from Saturday’s win.
Holding midfielder Declan Rice has been starring this season, earning plaudits from West Ham fans and pundits throughout the campaign having thrived in Pellegrini’s side.
West Ham have now posted a video on Twitter of a superb tackle Rice made against Crystal Palace, suggesting that it went ‘unnoticed’ amid so many fine second half goals.
Hammers fans certainly noticed though, and many responded by offering a staggering comparison for the youngster, suggesting it was just like watching West Ham and England legend Bobby Moore – and whilst it’s early to be mentioning the pair in the same breath, it’s great to see Hammers fans having a homegrown prospect to be proud of again.
