Declan Rice's Outstanding Performance Sets Premier League Record in Arsenal's 6-0 Win

Declan Rice delivered an outstanding performance in Arsenal's 6-0 win against West Ham, setting a new Premier League record. The midfielder contributed two assists and scored a remarkable goal from distance at his former home ground, the London Stadium.

Rice's performance earned him a WhoScored rating of 9.84, the highest rating for a midfielder in the Premier League this season. This surpasses the ratings of top midfielders such as Kevin de Bruyne, Rodri, and Bruno Fernandes.

One of Rice's assists came from a corner, where he delivered a pinpoint cross to William Saliba, who headed the ball into the net. Rice's delivery skills were on display again when he provided another perfect cross for Gabriel Magalhaes to score with a header.

Not only did Rice excel in creating goals, but he also showcased his scoring ability. He capitalized on a moment of confusion between Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard to score a sensational goal.

Rice's performance was so impressive that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta substituted him off at the 6-0 scoreline, and Rice received a standing ovation from the remaining fans.

This exceptional performance by Rice highlights his talent and contribution to Arsenal's victory. It also demonstrates his strong connection to his former club, as he received a warm reception from the West Ham fans. Arsenal's win has brought them level on points with Manchester City, although they remain in third place due to goal difference. Their next match against Burnley will be crucial as they aim to continue their winning streak.
