Declan Rice gave a brilliant reaction after finding out Liverpool had dropped points against Newcastle United.
On Wednesday night, Rice started at the heart of the Arsenal midfield as they took on Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.
Goals from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba were enough to seal a vital 2-0 win for Mikel Arteta’s men.
To make the victory even better, Premier League leaders Liverpool dropped two precious points at St. James’ Park against Newcastle after a late Fabian Schar goal made it 3-3.
Straight after the final whistle at the Emirates, Rice was interviewed by Amazon Prime Video and was told that Liverpool had dropped points.
Rice was told: “The other bit of good news, Liverpool drew tonight, they dropped points so you’ve closed that gap, in that sense as well, must feel good.
The Arsenal man replied: “Yeah it’s good but look, people get carried away with the title talk and I was involved in my first one last year.
You just need to be in and around it by February time, it’s too early to be calling what’s going on. It’s closed up but there’s still a long way to go. We’ll keep believing in ourselves.” You can watch the interview below.
As a result of beating United, Arsenal stay third with 28 points as they trail Chelsea on goal difference. Meanwhile, Liverpool remain top of the Premier League table with 35 points.
