Gary Lineker and Micah Richards Left in Awe of Arsenal Star Declan Rice

England midfielder Declan Rice found the net during Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday, a result that keeps the Gunners at the top of the Premier League table. The win came at Turf Moor, with goals scored by Viktor Gyokeres and Rice in the first half.

Following the match, Arsenal earned recognition from pundits Micah Richards and Gary Lineker for their dominant display and defensive solidity. It marked another clean sheet and strengthened Mikel Arteta’s side’s early lead in the season.

“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 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.”

Richards added special praise for Rice’s growth, noting that the midfielder had elevated his performance to a world-class level.

“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.”

Arsenal merchandise is currently on sale, with Fanatics offering discounts of up to 60% on selected kits and items for fans celebrating the club’s strong run of form.
