Declan Rice refused to celebrate after scoring a screamer as Arsenal ran riot against West Ham on Sunday.
Arsenal are tearing West Ham to shreds on Sunday at the London Stadium with Rice leading the charge as the Gunners went SIX goals up after an hour.

And the sixth came courtesy of a familiar face in east London after Rice let loose a howitzer from distance that flew past Alphonse Areola.
But the England international, who made over 200 appearances for West Ham, refused to celebrate even though the away fans were jubilant.
As well as scoring against his former side, Rice also grabbed two assists - something he had never previously managed in a Premier League match.
Arsenal fans were loving Rice's goal, though some wish he celebrated.
That includes talkTV's Piers Morgan, who wanted the midfielder to shut up the booing fans inside the London Stadium.
He posted on X: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!! 0-6.
"Absolute screamer from @_DeclanRice who refused to celebrate because he’s classier than the West Ham fans who booed him. He’s been the buy of the century."
Another wrote: "Fair play to Declan Rice for waiting until all the West Ham fans had gone home before scoring."
And a third said: "Declan Rice clearly respects the celebration police."
