Rice scored a key header in the 97th minute, which prompted Wright to go wild in a video that was shared by Optus Sport. The ecstatic scene happened after Rice scored the goal.
While Wright was in the thick of his celebration, he also made a sly joke at James Maddison while laughing. While Wright was reading from a news article that was published in The Mirror, he brought attention to the conflicting emotions that Maddison had regarding his England teammate Rice, who had transferred to Arsenal for a record-breaking £105 million during the summer. Even though Maddison acknowledged Rice’s talent and expressed his respect for it, he made a hilarious admission by saying, “I hate that he plays for Arsenal.”
During the exciting encounter, Arsenal was losing by a score of 3-2 until Kai Havertz scored a goal in the sixty minute mark to tie the game at 3-3. Rice’s brave moment occurred as he rose high to meet a cross from Martin Odegaard and headed home the winner deep into injury time. The Gunners were determined to score a late victory, and they witnessed Rice’s courageous moment.
The elation was mirrored by Arsenal supporters at Kenilworth Road, while Ian Wright’s ecstatic reaction in the studio was captured by the camera. He sprang out of his chair and yelled out with great enthusiasm, “Arsenal! Arsenal!” while displaying the news piece that discussed Maddison’s lighthearted scorn for Rice joining the Gunners.
In the 22 games that he has played for Arsenal since his arrival at the Emirates, Declan Rice has established himself as a key member of the team’s starting eleven. Supporters of the Gunners have been eager to praise him as “ridiculous” for the significant contributions he has made on the pitch.
James Maddison, who moved to Tottenham earlier in the season when Leicester was relegated, recently acknowledged Rice’s technical ability in an interview that was broadcast on Amazon Prime. Maddison was a previous player for Leicester. Maddison praised Rice as a “top, top player,” expressing his disappointment that he now represents Arsenal. This was in spite of the fun banter that was going on between them.
Madison’s season has been marred by an ankle injury that he got during the match against Chelsea. As a result, he will not be able to participate in any games until at least the new year. During the course of the unfolding football drama, the banter between players adds an amusing aspect to the tales that are currently being told in the Premier League.
