Rice Leads England to First Anfield Victory in 14 Years

By Arsenal FC

England midfielder Declan Rice was named player‑of‑the‑match after assisting the only goal in a 1‑0 win at Anfield on Sunday. The victory was England’s first league win at the venue since 2012 and moved the team three points clear at the top of the table. Rice praised the team’s unity, saying it was unmatched and that the manager, Mikel Arteta, had focused the pre‑match talk on ending England’s winless run at Anfield. He added that the win was especially meaningful after a loss to Fleetwood earlier in the week. The win also delighted Rice, who noted that he had not celebrated much at Anfield in the past.
