West Ham boss David Moyes was delighted with Declan Rice's goalscoring performance last night.
Rice was a commanding presence in the Hammers' 2-0 victory over Europa League opponents Rapid Vienna, and opened the scoring by finishing off a sweeping move having sprinted half the pitch to arrive in the opposition penalty box.
Moyes said: "The performance I wouldn't put as high as some we've had this season, but we are still learning at this level. We did the job and we were worthy winners.
"It took a really well-worked goal and a good goal by Declan. He has stepped up, he has the ability to get forward and score goals and we are encouraging him to do that. It's good that he's got two in this competition already.
"He's beginning to show a little bit more, I think he's more than capable, and he's got a great shot in him too. But overall he's a really good, developing midfield player."
