Like in East London, Rice has excelled in North London.

But on his return to the London Stadium, Rice was booed by a smattering of home supporters.

However, this did not go down well with Arsenal fans, who bit back to defend the 25-year-old.

This included outspoken Gooner Piers Morgan, who said: “So classless of West Ham fans to incessantly boo Declan Rice after all he did for their club.”

Another fan said: “Declan Rice, the man who brought West Ham their first trophy in decades and then more than 100M in a transfer fee, is being booed by the West Ham fans when he touches the ball. Supporters are dumb.”

A third: “Booing Rice for winning them a cup and getting them £105m quid? Idiots.”

A fourth said: “It’s very weird that Declan Rice gets booed by West Ham, lmao he did so much for the club.”

A fifth added: “I still can believe Rice is getting booed.”
