# West Ham: Fans go wild over Declan Rice footage

**A number of West Ham supporters have been showing their love for a touching video showing Declan Rice giving his shirt to a young Hammers fan.**

David Moyes’ side have experienced a tricky time of things since winning 3-2 at home Liverpool, struggling to get going after the recent international break. West Ham are now without a win in three Premier League matches, with a loss at Wolves followed up by a defeat away to champions Manchester City.

On Wednesday night, the Hammers could only draw 1-1 at home to Brighton, as Neal Maupay struck late in the day to equalise for the Seagulls.

There was a lovely moment after the game, though, with the club’s [official Twitter channel](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1466370729079889925?s=20) sharing footage of Rice handing his shirt to a young girl in the crowd.
