Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was pleased with Declan Rice for victory over Nottingham Forest.

Rice showed instant leadership skills for the 2-1 win.

Arteta said: "It's very natural. You've seen him today, I don't know if it was after two minutes or after 10, but the way he's moving, the way he's coaching and integrating in that dressing room I think he's enjoying the position.

"He should have scored probably two goals today. So more of the same.

"He's not thinking, he's just acting and I'm really pleased with what he's done."
