premier league football: Arsenal extend lead as Wolves clinch first win

Declan Rice of Arsenal celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the Premier League match between Bournemouth and Arsenal at Vitality Stadium on January 03, 2026 in Bournemouth, England. Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points following a comeback victory against Bournemouth. Wolves recorded their first league victory of the season and Rob Edwards’ first three points in charge of the Premier League basement club. Declan Rice helped Arsenal come from behind with a second-half brace as they triumphed in a 3-2 win against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Evanilson capitalised on Gabriel’s misplaced pass to put the Cherries in front but the Brazilian atoned for his error when he struck back just six minutes later. Rice missed his fir...

Premier League updates: Saka and Rice seal Arsenal win over West Ham

Gettyimages 2238764481 612x612 1 Declan Rice scored his first goal of the season before Bukayo Saka added a second as Arsenal comfortably beat West Ham in manager Mikel Arteta's 300th game in charge. Arsenal have had an excellent start to the season losing just one game and Arteta looked to ensure that continued with his attacking selection. The Arsenal manager named a midfield three of Rice, Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze as he utilised the options in his squad after a £250m spend in the summer. However, that trio did not last long with Odegaard having to go off with an injury, the third Premier League home game in a row that he has been withdrawn early. Rice was then pushed into a more advanced role as Martin Zubimendi was brought on and the former West Ham midfielder wa...

Stunning Rice double fires Arsenal to 3-0 win over Real Madrid

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 08: Declan Rice scores Arsenal's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final First Leg match between Arsenal FC and Real Madrid C.F. at Emirates Stadium on April 08, 2025 in London, England. Declan Rice's two fantastic freekicks and a striker's finish from Mikel Merino gave Arsenal an emphatic 3-0 victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium. The hosts had the better of the first half as Real began slowly, with Eduardo Camavinga almost conceding a calamitous own goal when he blocked Antonio Rudiger's clearance before Thomas Partey shot straight at Thibault Courtois. Real grew into the contest and threatened on the break, though their few opportunities came from Arsenal errors and ...

Declan Rice ready to play with broken toe for Arsenal and England

Arsenal's Declan Rice during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD3 match between Arsenal FC and FC Shakhtar Donetsk at Emirates Stadium on October 22, 2024 in London, England.

Rice has been unable to train this week and could not put a boot on the foot of his injured toe. The midfielder, however, is ready to try to play through the pain barrier for Arsenal against...

Declan Rice and Jack Grealish give Lee Carsley winning start to England reign

After all the focus on the soundtrack, Lee Carsley’s first game as England manager was certainly loaded with narrative. The inevitable line is that you couldn’t script this but, well, it’s really the first thing you’d script. Declan Rice and Jack Grealish scored the goals in a 2-0 England win over Ireland, the national team they both left, to also overcome a constant chorus of boos. If anything, such a response seemed to counter-productively drive them on, in the way that often happens. At least for a time. This win really just evolved into the sort of win over a smaller country that England have long learned to expect under Gareth Southgate, albeit with one important twist. The attacking under Carsley was different throughout and, for a brief period, quite exciting. There was a sens...
