West Ham United captain Declan Rice had a night to remember for England in Naples on Thursday against Italy.
The Hammers’ skipper opened the scoring with his third senior international goal against the Italians, helping the Three Lions to seal their first win in Italy since May 1961 and a win in their opening qualifying match for the 2024 European Championships.
While Tottenham Hotspur striker and England captain Harry Kane grabbed the headlines as his first half penalty sealed victory and became England’s all-time leading goalscorer in the process, Rice entered an exclusive club by winning his 40th cap.
