Declan Rice sang praises for the Arsenal squad following their narrow 1-0 triumph over Spurs in the north London derby.

In a game where resilience paid off, Gabriel’s header from a Bukayo Saka corner past the hour mark sealed the deal.

Despite being forced to sit out the heated encounter due to a suspension from his Brighton dismissal and the absence of Martin Odegaard with an ankle injury sustained playing for Norway, Rice couldn’t resist expressing his admiration for the team after the game concluded, taking to his story to share the score along with the enthusiastic words: “I love this team!!!!!”

Rice saw red in the preceding league match against Brighton but will return for the squad’s challenging visit to Manchester City. In contrast, Odegaard is likely to miss the upcoming clash at the Etihad.
