West Ham captain Rice mocked Spurs rival Hojbjerg

Tottenham star Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has opened up about what Declan Rice said to him during their recent tussle in the Premier League.

Spurs beat West Ham United 2-0 on Sunday to go into the top four positions.

During the game, the two midfielders came face to face before the referee intervened.

According to journalist Carrie Brown, Rice told the Danish midfielder: “Nobody likes you."

Spurs and Hojbjerg had the last laugh in the game, winning at a canter.

Despite Rice's best efforts, the Hammers could not get in the match and are still in the relegation zone.
