Darwin Nunez EMBARRASSES Declan Rice in AMAZING stat

Darwin Nunez has really made Declan Rice look shocking in a bizarre stat thrown up by the Premier League.

Darwin Nunez seriously caught the eye against Chelsea on Sunday. The Uruguayan played a lot more football than initially planned, given Diogo Jota started the fixture.

But a rib injury for the Portugal striker brought Nunez into the fray. The no.9 got about the pitch incredibly well and while he didn't end up with any chances of his own, he was a defensive force.

Three tackles won is an incredible feat for any striker, let alone in a big fixture. But Nunez was eager to race back at all times, winning a couple right on the edge of Reds' box.

It was the defensive display a manager dreams of. It was also the defensive display that Mikel Arteta isn't getting from his star midfielder, Declan Rice.
