Declan Rice 'lucky' to avoid major injury during West Ham's Premier League draw against Leeds

Declan Rice was 'lucky' to avoid serious injury in the 2-2 draw against Leeds United on Wednesday night, according to a BBC journalist.

West Ham United drew 2-2 at Elland Road, with Lucas Paqueta and Gianluca Scamacca turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead before the home side drew level.

However, in the opening 45 minutes, Leeds' star Rodrigo was shown a yellow card after his high boot caught Rice on the inside of his ear - but the Hammers skipper continued and finished the match.
