LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is back to his best level with more attacking bite to his game, manager Mikel Arteta said of the club's record signing, who scored the opener in his side's 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.
Rice netted his first Champions League goal inside two minutes to pave the way for a routine victory against the Croatian side that made Arsenal's place in the last 16 of the competition a virtual certainty.
