Declan Rice has revealed the reasons behind his Arsenal goalscoring celebration against Burnley on Saturday, following the passing of beloved family member.

Rice scored the Gunners' second in their 2-0 win at Turf Moor with a powerful header on 35 minutes.

And after scoring, the England midfielder kneeled to the turf and pointed his hands to the heavens in tribute to his late auntie, Bev.

Speaking post-match, Rice paid tribute to his auntie who has been a staunch supporter of his career.

'My auntie 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 so that was for her today.'
