Arsenal faced considerable difficulties in their away match against Bournemouth in the 20th round of the English Premier League on the morning of January 4th. However, a brace from Declan Rice and a goal from Gabriel Magalhaes helped the "Gunners" come from behind to win 3-2.
This is not the first time the midfielder born in 1999 has shone to bring victory to Arsenal. He has shown that he is worth every penny of the 90 million euro fee the club paid to buy him in 2023.
From a defensive midfielder, Declan Rice has gradually shifted to a more attacking role. This season he has contributed 6 goals and 2 assists for Arsenal.
When asked about Declan Rice after the win against Bournemouth, manager Arteta confidently stated: "For me, he is the best midfielder in the world right now. Rice is consistently contributing to games and playing a vital role in the team. He can continue to improve and is an important player for Arsenal."
Besides Declan Rice, manager Arteta also praised Gabriel Mahalgaes. The number 6 defender was directly responsible for the first goal conceded. His poor pass allowed Evanilson to steal the ball and open the scoring for Bournemouth.
However, it was Gabriel who redeemed himself with the equalizer. Thanks to that, Arsenal were able to come back and win 3 points.
"What Gabriel did after making that mistake was remarkable. The way he reacted, played, and channeled energy after that play was fantastic," the 43-year-old manager shared.
The victory against Bournemouth gives Arsenal 48 points and puts them at the top of the Premier League. They also temporarily create a six-point gap with the chasing pack.
