Arsenal legend comments on Declan Rice's non-celebration against former club West HamGetty
Rice was on target in the Gunners 6-0 thrashing at the London Stadium.

Arsenal icon David Seaman says it was 'strange' to see Declan Rice not celebrate his goal in the Gunners' win over West Ham on Sunday. 

Mikel Arteta's side were in scintillating form at the London Stadium, as they hit the Hammers for six without reply, with the final goal coming from former West Ham skipper Rice. 

The England midfielder chose not to celebrate his curling effort in front of his former fans, something that former Gunners number one Seaman couldn't get his head around. 

“What a goal it was not to celebrate!” Seaman said on his podcast Seaman Says, proudly sponsored by Parimatch.

“To see him not celebrate was strange for me, because it was just such a good goal and the icing on the cake on an incredible day for him and the club." 

Seaman also praised the performance of his former club and stated how happy he was for Rice to silence the London Stadium boo-boys. 
 
Adding: “It was a brilliant performance from Arsenal. I actually did an Arsenal VIP tour on the day and as I was going around as the first half had just started, so everybody had got it on their phone.

"Every table that I went to, all the fans that had come were all saying, ‘it's one nil, oh, it's two, it's three, it’s four.’ It was great!

"I was so happy for Declan because he was getting a lot of stick from West Ham fans. He got a lot of stick at the Emirates recently when they beat Arsenal, so I was so happy for him for turning it around on Sunday.”
