Declan Rice will take much of the plaudits for his fantastic long-range strike to open the scoring for Arsenal in their Carabao Cup clash against Bolton.
The England international struck well from outside the 18-yard box after a loose ball somehow got to his feet despite a close-range intervention from Scott Arfield.

However, not all the credit can go to the former West Ham enforcer. The 25-year-old had more than a helping hand from highly-rated youngster Ethan Nwaneri (17) who curled in a low cross from the right-back.
Arfield really should be more than a little embarrassed at his failure to clear the hazard (and the end goal) after completely nailing his clearance attempt.
A nightmare for the Bolton man and pure euphoria for Rice.
