"It was an unbelievable performance from him,"
"To play right-back, probably the first time in his life, and then do it the way he did it today was unbelievable, so a really, really good performance from him. And that's just our team. Everyone is ready to do whatever it takes, and that was another good example of that."
"I've been waiting for that one and working really hard to improve on my finishing. I like to be in those areas, and Bukayo, we know each other really well, he finds me there, and there was a little angle in the corner there, so it was a good goal. As I said, we've been working really hard to get it, and it was there, so we're really pleased."
Declan Rice filled in as a makeshift right-back and produced an outstanding performance as Arsenal beat Brighton 2-1 to remain top of the Premier League. Jurrien Timber missed the game with an ankle problem and Ben White was also sidelined, while Riccardo Califiori withdrew moments before kick-off after a warm-up injury. Martin Odegaard opened the scoring with his first goal of the season, ending a drought, and praised Rice's versatility and the squad's willingness to perform whatever role is required. Rice could again occupy full-back against Aston Villa in the next match.
