Gary Lineker and Micah Richards Praise Arsenal Star Declan Rice
England midfielder Declan Rice impressed again as Arsenal defeated Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor on Saturday, keeping the team at the top of the Premier League table after ten matches. His standout display earned him special recognition from TV pundits Micah Richards and Gary Lineker.
Match Overview
Arsenal went six points clear at the summit following goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Rice, both scored in the first half. Under Mikel Arteta’s leadership, the Gunners maintained another clean sheet and showed renewed consistency.
Richards’ Analysis
“It is interesting watching Arsenal, because we talk about them every week, and it is the same old story, isn't it? 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.”
