Chelsea's pursuit of Declan Rice given a huge boost

Chelsea's pursuit of West Ham ace Declan Rice has been given a huge boost after the midfielder revealed that he wants to remain in London.

A host of Prem clubs including the Blues' rivals Man United have been linked with a move for Rice this summer.

But the in-demand centre-mid would prefer to stay close to his London roots if he does decide to leave West Ham.

And Chelsea could be Rice's first pick as he also revealed that he grew up supporting the Blues in a chat with Gary Neville in Kingston-upon-Thames, situated in South-West London.

Neville asked the England star: “Do you still have a house round here?

And Rice responded: “Yeah, I’m here all the time, I’ve always wanted to stay close to this place, I feel like I don’t want to lose my roots.”

Declan prefers Roy Keane over Patrick Vieira

West Ham star Declan Rice has revealed that he prefers Roy Keane over Patrick Vieira as a football player.

Ex-Man United ace Keane and former Arsenal midfielder Vieira were sworn enemies on the pitch.

But Rice admitted that Keane was the one that he watched more out of the pair when he was growing up.

When asked by Gary Neville who his favourite was on the Overlap show, Rice said: “I just feel like I’ve probably watched him more as a player.

“Even though I was a kid when he was playing or coming towards the end of his career in terms of clips, how he played and what he was like as a captain.”

Harry Kane thought lead against Chelsea celebrations cut short

Harry Kane thought he'd given Tottenham the lead against Chelsea, until referee Paul Tierney cut his celebrations short.

England captain Kane collected a low cross from Ryan Sessegnson, before turning and firing past Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The only problem though was Tierney spotted a foul in the build-up to the goal.

As Kane controlled the ball from Sessesgnon, the striker put an arm on Thiago Silva's back before slotting into the back of the net.

That arm in the back was judged to have been a push, as Silva was sent sprawling to the floor.

Gary Neville though was left in disbelief at the decision, saying on punditry duty for Sky Sports: "That is not a foul. No chance.

"I mean look there's an arm there from Harry Kane, but that is not a foul for me."

And fans on social media agreed, as one fumed: "The game is gone if that’s a foul."

While another said: "Harry Kane has been robbed of a goal."

It's after Liverpool were awarded a controversial penalty earlier in their game against Crystal Palace, as fans on social media lamented both decisions.

Watford vs Norwich floodlight shambles

Watford's match against Norwich was suspended due to floodlight failure.

The floodlights in each corner of Vicarage Road began to dim and referee Mike Dean it was unsafe to continue - even though visibility was not interrupted.

The delay lasted ten minutes before Dean consulted the two managers and captains and asked if they were happy to continue, which they were.

And Claudio Ranieri may have regretted that decision when moments later Josh Seargent headed in his second goal of the game to give Norwich a valuable 2-0 lead.

Jamie Carragher said on Sky Sports' coverage of the game: "It's absolutely fine. Who decides that they can't carry on in this light? Is it the referee? They can play, just get on with it."

Fellow pundit Gary Neville agreed.
