Declan Rice ‘has got his bite back’ as Arsenal all but confirm top-eight spot

There have some draining days in recent weeks for Arsenal, a team.

Who are lacking consistency and struggling with injuries, but in this relatively gloomy period there is one player who has shone more brightly and regularly than the rest: Declan Rice…

As the half wore on, City’s presence grew, and the hosts had Raya to thank for keeping them ahead when he managed to divert Gvardiol’s fizzing cross from danger before getting down low to palm away Savinho’s deflected strike. City were on top when the half-time whistle blew.

And with 10 minutes of the second half gone, they had their equaliser. Phil Foden found Savinho and his pinpoint cross was planted into the back of the net by Haaland after William Saliba allowed his opponent a free header.

City were back in the match, but Arsenal provided a quick response that sucked the life out of Pep Guardiola’s men.

Foden’s sloppy pass fell right into คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย Partey’s path and the midfielder’s 20-yard strike hit John Stones’ back before sailing past a wrong-footed Ortega.

Guardiola could not believe it, and it would get worse for the City boss when Lewis-Skelly put a rampant Arsenal two clear five minutes later.

Rice found the academy star in the penalty area and Ortega could not keep Lewis-Skelly’s curling right-footed strike out.

The teenager then ran away to the corner before sitting on the turf and holding his fingers in a yoga pose – a celebration synonymous with Haaland in recent years.
