City were far from their best selves against Arsenal and Declan Rice was ready to pounce on any mistakes made at the back.

The midfielder helped win back possession for his side's opener, passing to Kai Havertz for the German to set up Martin Odegaard. Rice continued to keep the City backline under the cosh with his constant pressing throughout the game.

Rice really let his creative side show through on Sunday evening as he created four chances for his teammates, the most out of any player in the match.

He didn't let his good attacking performance stop him from doing what was required of him defensively either. Rice won a duel, made two clearances and three recoveries to help his side out at the back.
