Declan Rice delighted to score in West Ham victory

West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice was delighted to score in victory over Watford.

It was Rice's first goal of the season.

He told the club's website: "It's the best I've scored - it's only my third goal! In the warm-up I scored two bangers, and Nobes and the lads are always on me in training to shoot.

"They tell me I need to shoot more because I have the ability. Goals is something I need to add to my game and the opportunity arose there on my right foot on he left hand side to bend it.

"When it hit the back of the net it was a great feeling because, with two games to go, it wouldn't have looked good with a blank and no goals this year! To get one on a special night like this, I'm over the moon."
