Declan Rice says he was motivated after watching David Beckham's documentary the night before Arsenal faced Chelsea.
“Everyone’s been talking about this Beckham documentary, and I watched it for the first time last night,” he admitted post-match.
“The first couple of clips are the game against Wimbledon where he scored from the halfway line and I took a lot of belief from that.
“I was just thinking that it was bizarre that I watched it last night, and then obviously today taking that shot first time and scoring. It was a special goal to kickstart our comeback, you’ve got to keep shooting - if you shoot, you score! “In a player’s mind, you get a split second to make a decision. It’s the quickest thing that you have to do; you've got to think whether you pass the ball, Leo was free in front of me, or you go for goal yourself.
"I’ve just watched it back, it was a great finish so I was happy with that.”
Rice scored a long-range effort to begin the comeback against Chelsea. Leandro Trossard sealed a point for the Gunners.
