Declan Rice has praised Arsenal’s character and togetherness after the Gunners claimed a crucial away victory against Leeds, marking a special personal milestone for the midfielder, Softfootball reports.
The England international has been outstanding for Arsenal since completing his £100m move from West Ham, quickly establishing himself as a key figure in Mikel Arteta’s side. Rice’s leadership, consistency, and all-round influence in midfield have been central to Arsenal’s title push this season.
Speaking via Arsenal’s official X handle after the match, Rice reflected on both the result and his landmark appearance.
Arsenal fans, Dec here. Just wanted to say a massive win today. A great one on the road, bounced back really well. My 300th Premier League game so I’m very proud of that moment. So happy I could do it with you guys and get a win. So let’s keep pushing. Semi-final on Tuesday. Stick with us.

Arsenal’s victory also carried significant importance in the context of the title race. The Gunners responded strongly after last week’s home defeat to Manchester United at the Emirates, bouncing back to extend their lead at the top of the table to seven points. Attention now turns to rivals Manchester City, who face Tottenham tomorrow and could have a major say in how the title race develops.
With a semi-final clash coming up on Tuesday, Rice’s message was clear: Arsenal are focused, united, and determined to keep pushing on all fronts as the season enters a decisive phase.
