Declan Rice bemoans West Ham's 'bad decisions' during 2-0 defeat by Arsenal as Irons star admits that Champions League hopefuls were 'nowhere near the level required to be a top four team'

Declan Rice has issued a damning verdict of West Ham's performance against Arsenal, as the Hammers captain insisted their 2-0 defeat was 'nowhere near the level required to be a top four team'.

Wednesday night's victory saw the Gunners leapfrog West Ham into fourth place, with David Moyes' side enduring a miserable run of two wins from their last eight games.
