A regrettable incident marked the London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal. A home fan attempted to provoke Declan Rice, the Gunners' midfielder, by showing him a photograph of his wife, Lauren Fryer, on his phone while the player was preparing to take a corner kick. Despite the offensive gesture, the England international seemed unaware of the situation at the moment, maintaining his focus on the game. Involved in Kolo Muani's goal, which equalized the match, Rice stayed focused and played an active role in Arsenal's 4-1 rout, completing 100 games for the club. It is worth noting that this is not an isolated incident. Rice's family has been targeted with harassment on social media, focusing on his wife's appearance, with negative comments suggesting that the midfielder had 'low standards' or that he 'could do better.'
