Bukayo Saka was one of the stars for Arsenal tonight at Liverpool but he had some praise for new midfielder, Declan Rice as well.

Rice has been excellent since signing in the summer and was once again praised for his performance tonight at Anfield. Ian Wright called him magnificent, insisting Rice has given the Arsenal team a whole new confidence.

The Gunners shelled out a club-record fee to sign Rice. At the time, there was a feeling that the club might have overpaid. But at the moment, it’s looking quite the opposite.

And when asked about the game tonight and certain individuals, Arsenal star Saka was full of praise for Rice and what he’s brought to the team.

“He has brought a lot to the team, made us better. In games like today he breaks up the play so well and wins the ball back and plays forward. As an attacker it is great to play with players like that as they get the team on the front foot. He has been so consistent this season, and another top performance today,” Saka said.

Rice and Saka leading the way for Arsenal

Saka was a massive threat tonight out wide. He might not have got his usual goal but he was a massive problem all night for the Liverpool defence.

With Rice, we are getting to a point where you simply run out of words to describe how good he’s been.

The England man is showing quality in every game now and he’s slotted into this Arsenal team with so much ease.

Mikel Arteta will be absolutely delighted with what he is getting from Rice at the moment. He was brought in for these big games and to help Arsenal become a better team. And he’s doing just that.

Right now, there are few midfielders in England as good as Rice in what he does. A big reason Arsenal got a result tonight was down to him and Arteta will be hoping his form continues.
