Declan Rice was the best player on the pitch during Arsenal's victory over Liverpool. Rice was the best player on the pitch, with the England midfielder at the heart of proceedings for Arsenal throughout the encounter.He got the assist for Havertz's goal, which came after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker surrended possession in a dangerous area.Rice was rewarded for his influential display with the man-of-the-match award, but was quick to insist that he wasn't the only standout performer for Arsenal.Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "This can go to anyone today." Rice added: "That defensive line we have, that togetherness we have, it's nothing like I have seen before.

He was there, and he nearly could have had another one with the same action, so I’m so happy for him because he deserved that goal today."It’s always tiring and tough coming here. It’s my first win here as a player, so it’s demanding."Jamie Carragher was full of praise for Rice after the final whistle, insisting that he is up there with the best midfielders Arsenal have ever had."He’s the best midfield player in the Premier League by a long way, it’s not even a debate," said the former Liverpool defender."Last season there was a debate with [Moises] Caicedo, but it's not even a debate.

Declan Rice is the best midfield player in this country."I’m not an Arsenal fan, but sometimes I hear people speak about him and I’m sort of flabbergasted that they don’t understand football and they’re not watching the same game as me."He’s a world-class midfield player. They’ve had some obviously great ones and he’s right up there with the best of them."
