Piers Morgan has criticized ‘classless’ West Ham fans for booing Declan Rice on his return to the London Stadium.

The Arsenal midfielder left for his former Premier League club for the first time since his £105million move to north London.

Unsurprisingly, Rice didn’t get a welcome reward as he was booed every time he touched the ball.

Morgan wrote on

Rice was unaffected by the hostility as he registered two assists for Mikel Arteta’s side in a dominant first half.

The England international delivered a deep corner into the back post for William Saliba to head home shortly after the half hour mark.

Rice then delivered a free-kick, which Gabriel nodded into the net a minute after half-time, with Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard the other scorers.

And with his last touch on the ball before being substituted in the second half, Rice scored a brilliant goal from 30 yards out to make it six goals to good with just 20 minutes to go.

Morgan took advantage of Rice’s exceptional goal to further highlight it to the West Ham fans at X, calling the midfielder ‘more classic’ than those who booed him.

‘BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (laughing face emoji) M!!!! 0-6. Absolute screamer from @_DeclanRice who refused to celebrate because he’s more stylish than the West Ham fans who booed him. He has been the buy of the century,” Morgan tweeted.

The 24-year-old played 245 games for West Ham, scoring 15 goals.

Last season he also led them to victory in the Europa Conference League, the club’s first success in 43 years.

Rice has joined Arsenal straight away and has made 33 appearances in all competitions so far this season, with three goals and five assists.

With a win over West Ham, Arteta’s team comes within two points of leaders Liverpool.
