Declan Rice may not have reached the levels of his Real Madrid free kick heroics, but he certainly put in yet another good performance in the draw with Brentford.

The midfielder had an influence once again as he had an impact all over the pitch to help out in both attack and defence. He caused problems for the Bees' backline with his marauding runs and pressuring while also helping keep their attacking threat at bay.

Arsenal's record signing grabbed an assist when he made a charging run with the ball from near his own box all the way to the opposite end before playing a perfectly weighted pass for Thomas Partey to fire in the opener. Arteta opted to take Rice off following Brentford's equaliser, bringing an end to another impressive showing from him.
