Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy says Declan Rice was the outstanding player on the pitch for Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Anfield.

Murphy wrote for the Daily Mail: "He was sensational.

"This game showed me just how important Rice and also William Saliba are for Mikel Arteta. They are the two players he cannot do without if they are going to win the Premier League. With those two players in the side, they can get a result anywhere.

"It also made me realise how much Liverpool need a player like him. If Rice wore a Liverpool shirt, I think they win the title. He's that good.

"He was phenomenal last night, in every aspect. His reading of the game, winning the ball, his positional play, keeping hold of the ball under pressure, playing through the lines. It was an all-round brilliant display."
