Declan Rice was given a warm reception by West Ham supporters on his return to the London Stadium on Wednesday, as he faced his former club for the first time since making his £105million summer move to Arsenal.
The Gunners midfielder was named on the bench for Arsenal's Carabao Cup trip across the capital on Wednesday and had been given a round of applause by the Hammers faithful as he warmed up during the first half.
But with Arsenal trailing the fourth-round tie following Ben White's own goal and Mohammed Kudus' brilliantly-taken goal, Mikel Arteta opted to throw on Rice to shore up his midfield.
