Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice captained England for the first time yesterday in the 2-2 draw against Belgium, marking his 50th cap for the Three Lions in style.
With Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane out injured, England manager Gareth Southgate decided to hand the 25-year-old the chance to lead the national team out, and Rice was pleased with the opportunity.
The Arsenal star took to Instagram afterwards to react to the honour, and his international teammate and Manchester City midfielder (currently on loan at West Ham United) Kalvin Phillips was one of those who took to the comment section to shower praise on Rice.
The Gunners midfielder put in a top performance alongside Kobbie Mainoo and Jude Bellingham in the middle of the park for England, replicating the excellent displays he has constantly provided in the Arsenal jersey at international level.
