Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice dedicated his goal against Burnley to the memory of his aunt, who recently passed away.
Details: The Englishman found the net in the 35th minute, doubling his team's lead in the Premier League Matchweek 10 clash against Burnley, which ended in a 2-0 victory for the Gunners. After scoring, Rice pointed a finger to the sky, later explaining the significance of the gesture.
"My aunt passed away before the Fulham game. I loved her to death. She travelled everywhere to watch me with my mum. I know she's watching down on me from heaven, and I dedicated that goal to her," said the midfielder.
The goal against Burnley was Declan Rice's second of the season for Arsenal.
Reminder: Arsenal have not conceded a goal in seven consecutive matches.
