Arsenal star Declan Rice has been receiving plenty of plaudits after impressing again for the Gunners in their win over Burnley.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The midfielder has been in fine form so far this season, with his set-piece deliveries coming into focus as of late.<\/p>\n

That isn\u2019t all he brings to this Arsenal<\/a> team, however, as his ability in open play is what made him such an expensive signing.<\/p>\n

In the side\u2019s win over Burnley, Declan Rice<\/a> picked up a goal and helped create the opener in a 2-0 victory.<\/p>\n

It has led to plenty of praise, not least from youngster Max Dowman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arsenal fans are impressed with Rice once again<\/a>, as the star put in another top display for the Gunners on their way towards victory.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the supporters who are full of praise for the midfielder, as his own teammates have given him his flowers.<\/p>\n

Max Dowman was the first to do so, posting a picture on his Instagram story with the caption simply saying: \u201cThe best.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s something the supporters are likely to agree with, as every performance sees the England international hit new heights.<\/p>\n

With quality on the ball, off the ball and in set pieces, it\u2019s hard to see what Rice can\u2019t do in that Arsenal midfield.<\/p>\n

He may well be in the conversation as one of the best midfielders in world football as it stands.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s set-piece prowess<\/a> is the worst-kept secret in football, with Declan Rice at the heart of their quality.<\/p>\n

With the Gunners scoring from another corner against Burnley, they have set yet another record in the division.<\/p>\n

According to Opta, Arsenal\u2019s eight goals from set pieces this season are the most by any team in the first ten games of a Premier League season.<\/p>\n

It has become the extra margin that is unlocking difficult games for Arsenal and giving them the lead.<\/p>\n

With such a mean defence thrown into the mix, the Gunners are smashing records in both boxes.<\/p>\n
