After a big win last night, Declan Rice surprised a few Arsenal fans by discussing Tottenham Hotspur shortly after the match.
Teaming up with Jorginho in midfield, Rice’s pressing and ball progression were exceptional, as expected.
Mikel Arteta’s tactical plan paid off and individual performances justified the manager’s intelligence.
The win not only strengthens Arsenal’s position in the league table but also boosts their confidence.
Despite the disappointment of not overcoming Liverpool in the FA Cup, last night’s game could be a turning point.
After the game, Rice remained grounded and humble, despite speaking to beIN Sports shortly after Arsenal’s win.
Declan Rice seems to suggest that both Aston Villa and Spurs will still play a significant role in the title race.
He stated, “It’s one game at a time. This league is so volatile. Aston Villa are playing very well, Spurs are playing very well. There’s some really, really good teams in the league this year.”
The title race is still open, even with Manchester City holding a slight advantage.
Perhaps Arsenal will be hoping for a favor from Ivan Toney tonight – ahead of a possible summer transfer to the team.
Regardless, Rice and his teammates are happy with the win yesterday evening. And Gary Neville was particularly impressed with one performance during the game.
