Declan Rice has commended Arsenal’s unity and resilience following their significant away win against Leeds, which also marked a personal achievement for the midfielder, according to Softfootball.
The England player has been impressive for Arsenal since his £100m transfer from West Ham, quickly becoming a vital member of Mikel Arteta’s squad. Rice’s role in midfield, characterized by leadership and consistency, has been important to Arsenal’s ambitions for the title this season.
In a post-match statement shared via Arsenal’s official X account, Rice discussed the game’s significance and his landmark appearance.
Arsenal fans, Dec here. Just wanted to say a massive win today. A great one on the road, bounced back really well. My 300th Premier League game so I’m very proud of that moment. So happy I could do it with you guys and get a win. So let’s keep pushing. Semi-final on Tuesday. Stick with us.

The Gunners’ win was also crucial in the broader context of the title race. They showed resilience after falling to Manchester United at the Emirates last week, rebounding to widen their lead atop the table to seven points. Focus now shifts to Manchester City, who will take on Tottenham tomorrow and could influence the title race outcome.
With a semi-final approaching on Tuesday, Rice’s message was clear: Arsenal is determined, cohesive, and ready to advance on all fronts as the season nears a critical juncture.
