Rice's Man Utd strike wins Goal of the Month

Declan Rice’s dramatic late strike against Manchester United has scooped our Goal of the Month award for September.

The midfielder pipped fellow summer signing Alessia Russo by just a single per cent to claim the award, amassing 32 per cent of all the votes from the shortlist of six.

Declan’s first golden moment in our colours came in the sixth minute of stoppage-time at Emirates Stadium against the Red Devils. Bukayo Saka swung a corner to the back post where Declan was able to chest it down to his feet.

In the same movement, he swivelled and swung his right foot at the ball and saw it clip the foot of Jonny Evans and deceive Andre Onana between the United posts, to score his first Gunners goal and spark unbridled joy inside our home.
