Wild celebration: Declan Rice scored his first Premier League goal for almost a year against Southampton
(Picture: REUTERS)Less than a fortnight ago, Declan Rice sat in the depths of Anderlecht’s Lotto Park and talked of his desire to start grabbing more games “by the scruff of the neck”.
At St Mary’s yesterday, with the ball refusing to go in for West Ham’s more likely goalscorers, he did just that, exchanging passes with substitute Said Benrahma and driving forward before curling a sensational finish into the far corner to earn a 1-1 draw with struggling Southampton.
