West Ham midfielder Rice: I still smile about Arsenal goal

Declan Rice says he's still smiling about his goal against Arsenal last season.

The midfielder scored the only goal in a January victory over the Gunners, his first for the club.

"I think you can see in the celebration how much it meant to me!" the 20-year-old smiled. "I wanted to jump in with the fans, to be honest, because they're the ones who support me every week and show me the love but I would have got a yellow card, so I didn't do that!

"It was a special moment. The place erupted and I still smile about it to this day."
