da pixbet: Saturday turned out to be a special day for Declan Rice, which left him with more than one reason to celebrate.
da dobrowin: Not only did West Ham United secure a 3-1 win against Southampton to get themselves out of the relegation zone, but it was also his 100th appearance for the club, which he posted about on Instagram after the final whistle.
It is some achievement for the 21-year-old to have played so many times already, after making his debut with a cameo against Burnley on the last day of the 2016/17 season.
His progress is perhaps best embodied by the fact that he has also become an England international during that time.
