Declan Rice was a key player in Arsenal's dominant win at PSV as he had a positive impact all over the pitch.

His influence was felt in attack when he made a good turn before swinging in a peach of a cross for Jurrien Timber to head in the opener. Rice continued to cause problems high up the pitch, making a number of good runs and putting pressure on the hosts.

The England international controlled the midfield brilliantly, helping prevent PSV from breaking into the final third. He battled well, winning two duels and also clearing up when needed. Rice was no doubt a standout for Arsenal at the Philips Stadion.
