“He had 83 touches, 65 passes, 100% pass accuracy, 100% duels won, he was the best player on the pitch for me last night”- Arsenal icon Patrick Vieira was full of praise for sensational Arsenal superstar who was on another planet in the win against Brentford last night- Not Havertz, Not Saka and not Trossard

In the recent 1-0 Premier League victory against Brentford, Rice showcased his prowess with a stellar performance.

Arsenal icon Patrick Vieira effusively praised Rice, highlighting his remarkable statistics from the match: 83 touches, 65 passes, 100% pass accuracy, and a 100% success rate in duels.

Rice’s impact extends beyond statistical achievements. He made a crucial goalline clearance, demonstrating his defensive prowess.

In a season marked by standout moments, Rice has consistently delivered, including a decisive late winner against Manchester United and a stellar performance against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

The midfielder’s influence isn’t confined to defensive contributions; he played a pivotal role in securing a 2-2 draw against Chelsea with a spectacular 25-yard curling strike.

Arsenal’s investment in Rice during the summer, despite initial skepticism, has proven to be a masterstroke, as he continues to be a fan favorite and a linchpin in the team’s success.

In the same breath, credit is due to Kai Havertz for his noteworthy goal contribution.

Scoring his first goal from open play for Arsenal, Havertz’s quality header showcased his offensive capabilities.

This goal adds to his track record of stepping up in crucial situations, as seen in his earlier assist for Gabriel Martinelli’s winner against City.

As Arsenal revels in the stellar performances of Rice and Havertz, the team’s prospects are looking promising, contrasting with the challenges faced by Rashford and Manchester United in European competition.

The football landscape remains dynamic, with players like Rice and Havertz shaping the narrative for their respective clubs.
