From the source
Declan Rice says Arsenal are ready for more grinding wins as he hailed the 1-0 success at Liverpool on Sunday as the performance of champions.
The midfielder set up Kai Havertz for the only goal on 16 minutes but his defensive work was arguably more impressive; his physicality and reading of the game.
Liverpool were unhappy at the non-award of a penalty for a Jürrien Timber shirt-pull on Alexander Isak in the 21st minute and it was a day when the Kop fumed about Arsenal’s streetwise tactics, especially how they won free-kicks – albeit their own players were also guilty of going down too easily at times.
