Declan Rice has lauded Arsenal’s performance following their 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby, suggesting that the Gunners could have easily scored ten goals in the match.
“We were unlucky we didn’t score ten tonight,” Rice told TNT Sports after the match. “From the first minute, the first 45 was pure domination, you can tell it was a derby. We are unlucky we didn’t score 10, that’s the feeling. We don’t need a message, playing Spurs, if you can’t get up for that then you shouldn’t be playing football. We could have had another five or six and that is a disappointing thing.”
