Following the latest round of Premier League action we look at five things we learned from the midweek fixtures.
Rice repaying record spend
Declan Rice was not signed to score the goals that led Arsenal to the title, but the club-record signing has already delivered moments of real consequence in the North London side’s title charge.
Rice recorded his first goal for the Gunners with a last-gasp winner against Manchester United in September, and repeated the trick to settle a chaotic clash with Luton this week.
The England midfielder met Martin Odegaard’s cross to head home a 97th minute decider at Kenilworth Road, settling a seven-goal thriller that had seen The Hatters threaten an upset.
The ball-winning ability and forward drive of the former West Ham captain was sought to strengthen the spine of a side that faltered during last season’s run-in. The goals, and strength of character, have been a welcome bonus. Arsenal, with six straight wins in all competitions, are beginning to find momentum.
