Arsenal Fans Loved Mohamed Elneny Bossing Declan Rice In Midfield While Observing Ramadan
Arsenal fans loved Mohamed Elneny dominating Declan Rice in midfield while fasting in their big win over West Ham United on Sunday.
Elneny has starred in his side's crucial wins over Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham in recent weeks.
He's spent most of the season on the bench, but has been drafted in by Mikel Arteta - with the player delivering stellar performances in the engine room of the pitch.

His remarkable form is even more impressive when you consider he's observing Ramadan.

The Egyptian is fasting during daylight hours, but still producing the goods in the middle of the park.
And his latest heroic showing garnered huge praise from Arsenal fans, who loved his dominance in his duels with Rice.

Mohammed Elneny of Arsenal is better than Declan Rice and there’s nothing you could do about it.

I need someone to tell me what makes Declan Rice a better player than Elneny.

They said Elneny was fasting yesterday & he still ate Rice.

Wow 😂😂
Speaking about Ramadan last month, Elneny said: "The club gives me the freedom. The mentality must be strong to deal with fasting. I eat a lot at breakfast to get energy."
The 29-year-old is out of contract at Arsenal this summer, though his recent showings could earn him a new contract and prolong his stay at the Emirates.
The Gunners, meanwhile, currently occupy fourth spot, two points ahead of cross-town rivals Tottenham who also won on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta's team have four league games left of the season including a massive showdown against Spurs.
