Declan Rice has been nominated for both the Premier League Goal of the Month and Player of the Month awards for March, following a commanding display against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The England midfielder produced a brilliant first-time finish in the 74th minute, latching onto a clever cutback from Jurrien Timber and sweeping the ball in off the post to cancel out Bruno Fernandes’ opener.

In the dying moments of the game, he preserved the 1-1 draw with a perfectly timed last-ditch sliding tackle to deny Rasmus Højlund, underlining his importance at both ends of the pitch.
