Richard Keys has hailed Declan Rice for not celebrating his goal against his former club West Ham on Sunday following the flak the Gunners received after the Liverpool win.
Rice put the final nail in West Ham’s coffin as his side Arsenal beat the hosts 6-0 to pile further pressure on David Moyes.
The goal was followed by a muted celebration, something that was in complete contrast to the celebrations at the final whistle when they defeated Liverpool.
Keys has previously been a fierce critic of what he sees as Arsenal over-celebrating, but he was impressed with what he saw from Rice against West Ham, despite scoring the sixth goal of the match.
He feels, given the goal was against Rice’s former club, the actions of the midfielder were class.
“Class, Dec. Real class. Of course, I’m referring to the ‘celebration’ after Rice smashed Arsenal’s sixth against West Ham”, Keys wrote on his blog.
Rice’s overall performance on the day was also something that caught the attention of Keys, who feels that the England international now looks every bit the player who had arrived from West Ham for a substantial fee, something that has not always been seen at Arsenal.
“I thought Rice had a thunderous impact on the game. He looked every inch the player that left West Ham and used to play like it every week in their colours.
“Perhaps it was because he was back on familiar territory, but Rice cajoled, hit probing passes and to some degree ran the game, in a way I have not seen him do often enough in an Arsenal jersey.”
The goal on the day came along with another two assists which took Rice’s overall goal contributions to eight in the league this season.
