After Arsenal’s 1–1 draw against Brentford, Declan Rice said the game had different phases, with both teams having strong periods. He admitted Arsenal wanted to win but accepted it as “a point gained in our journey.”

Rice stressed that it’s unrealistic to maintain top performance all season, describing the campaign as a “rollercoaster.” He also warned against underestimating Brentford, saying you “can’t be naïve” to think games like that will be easy.

On the title race, he said the team must stay calm, block out outside noise, and focus on controlling what they can.
