Declan Rice’s Damning Five-Word Comment Caught On Camera After Forest Draw

Declan Rice's expletive-filled comment was caught on camera after Arsenal missed out on the chance to move nine points clear at the top of the table.

The Gunners travelled to Nottingham Forest for Saturday's evening kick-off in the Premier League, having seen Manchester City lose the derby 2-0 to Manchester United in Michael Carrick's first game in charge.

However the league leaders were frustrated by Forest, who became only the second side to stop them scoring this season.

Arsenal still gained on City and are now seven points clear after 22 games played. But after a second consecutive goalless draw in the league, Aston Villa can move within four points with victory over Everton on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta's men were not quite on song and Rice was clearly unhappy at the final whistle. The cameras panned to the England international as he clapped the Arsenal away end before shaking his head.

“F*cking sh*t, every f*cking time!”

Looking to the sky, he then appeared to say, "F***ing s**t, every f***ing time!”. It was not clear what exactly Rice was referring to as he made the comment.

Rice has arguably been the best midfielder in the Premier League this season and exudes passion on pitch. At half-time of the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Rice was seen in a heated exchange with Arteta's right-hand man Albert Stuivenberg.

Sky Sports posted footage of the altercation, where Rice appeared visibly annoyed at Stuivenberg and was calmed down by Gabriel Magalhaes as the two sides walked out for the second half.

However, in his pre-Forest press conference, Arteta was happy to admitted that there was no issue between the pair afterwards.

“It is all sorted. All good," Arteta stated.

"And the good thing is that by the time I found out, the problem was resolved. So that is very good.”

When Rice was substituted in the win over his former academy club Chelsea, he and Stuivenberg patched things up with a warm embrace.

Arsenal will look to return to winning ways on Tuesday when they take on Inter Milan in the Champions League at the San Siro, before hosting Manchester United at the Emirates on Sunday.
