West Ham defender Declan Rice sent out a tweet after his display against Arsenal on Sunday.

The 19-year-old was responsible for conceding a crucial goal on the 82nd minute that changed the complexion of the game.

Instead of heading the ball away, he chose to duck and the cross from Ramsey led to Arsenal’s second goal when it was 1-1.

Rice was then criticised by the Hammers boss David Moyes as well. However, the West Ham fans were not impressed with the manager’s reaction to Rice’s mistake.

West Ham fans responded with words of support for the young defender.  They also criticised the manager for publicly lashing out at a young player.

The young defender has had a good season overall and he will be looking to put this behind him now. Rice tweeted that he is still very inexperienced and he is likely to make mistakes in future as well. He also explained that it is a learning process.

Here is how the fans responded to Rice’s tweet.
