Declan Rice put in a Captain's performance at Anfield on Sunday, having the most touches of any Arsenal player (75).

Rice's defensive contributions included three interceptions and two clearances. In the 72nd minute he threw himself in front of a Mohamed Salah shot.

Going forward, Rice had one rather wayward shot into the Anfield Kop and made one key pass. His key pass was a corner met by the head of Riccardo Calafiori in the 39th minute.

Throughout the match, Rice drove his team on and made 52 passes with an 86.5% accuracy.
