Declan Rice praises team spirit and the importance of victory.
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice emerged as a star in press statements following the 3-2 victory over Bournemouth in the 20th round of the Premier League at the Vitality Stadium.
The English star who scored two goals said: "We knew the match would be extremely tough. Securing the three points, and the way we did it, was crucial."
He added: "Gabriel's mistake in Bournemouth's goal, followed by his outstanding performance throughout the match, showed the team's strong spirit. The most important thing was to secure the three points, and we are building momentum."
He continued: "I have been through similar situations where I scored a goal in a match and wished to score another, but that didn’t happen. However, now it has. We will need everyone’s contribution at different times, so I am happy to help the team."
He concluded: "We faced a tough season this year, like many other teams, due to injuries. We are in a good position, and if we can continue rotating the players, the results will be good, but we still have a long way to go."
