Declan Rice jokes his anxiety levels are 'through the roof' just six league games into Arsenal's season, as he opens up on pressure to win every match in trophy bid

Declan Rice has joked his anxiety levels are through the roof while playing for Arsenal with the pressure on to 'win every game' in their search of trophies.

Mikel Arteta's side secured a tense victory against Leicester on Saturday after James Justin's double cancelled out goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

But with nerves jangling around the Emirates, an own goal from Wilfred Ndidi edged Arsenal back in front before Kai Havertz struck late on to wrap up the three points.

The result kept the Gunners firmly in the Premier League title hunt and Rice, speaking post-match, said he and his team-mates are aware they must be faultless.
