Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice was among the scorers in Saturday's 2-0 away victory over Burnley, helping Arsenal cement their position at the top of the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta’s team secured a 2-0 win thanks to first-half goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice. This result places Arsenal six points clear at the summit of the Premier League after 10 games.
Rice received special acclaim from well-known TV pundits Micah Richards and Gary Lineker for his comprehensive display on the pitch.
"It is interesting watching Arsenal, because we talk about them every week, and it is the same old story isn't it?" said Richards on The Rest is Football podcast. "They keep a clean sheet and they deny opportunities, they work really hard and I don't like singling out just one player, because I feel like it is a team effort, and I have to give Arteta credit for building that. It looked like it was coming, couldn't quite get over the line, now it looks like it is back.
But I have to identify Declan Rice. Declan Rice has taken his game to the next level, where you are talking about him being one of the best in world football."
