West Ham’s Declan Rice admitted he was still a little disappointed with his team’s performance on Monday night despite the win over Leeds United – and some Hammers fans on Twitter loved his post-match comments.

West Ham completed a league double over Leeds after beating them 2-0 at home last night.

Jesse Lingard and Craig Dawson were both on the scoresheet in the first half for the Hammers, who now sit fifth in the Premier League table

Rice, who captains West Ham whenever Mark Noble is not on the pitch, once again impressed in the centre of the park against Leeds.

The 22-year-old central midfielder did claim thiugh after the game that his side weren’t at their very best, explaining they are capable of doing so much more.

“Speaking honestly, I’m disappointed with the performance,” Rice told Sky Sports.

“Yes, we won 2-0 and scored two goals, but if you compare the two performances from Manchester City last weekend and tonight, at Man City we were brave in taking the ball and we created loads of chances.

“Tonight, Leeds caused us problems, they came out really sharp in the first ten minutes and had two disallowed goals. As players, you need to wake yourselves up and get into the game.”

A selection of West Ham supporters on social media voiced their delight about Rice’s comments about the Leeds win, stressing that it shows his winning mentality.

The England international definitely looks like an experienced head on young shoulders and it’s so easy to overlook the fact he’s aged just 22.

If manager David Moyes can keep him at the club for next few years, he can be the real glue for a talented team that is beginning to take shape at the London Stadium.
