Declan Rice has apologized to West Ham United fans after his penalty attempt was saved during their loss to Nottingham Forest.
The Hammers lost to the Premier League newcomers 1-0, with Taiwo Awoniyi scoring the winning goal just before halftime.
The team led by David Moyes had its fair number of chances to take the lead when Saïd Benrahma scored, but the goal was overturned for a foul on Michail Antonio in the buildup.
But they had their greatest chance when they were given a penalty in the middle of the second half.
Rice came forward to attempt the kick, but Dean Henderson in the Forest goal made a spectacular save.
After the game, Rice apologized for missing two of his three Premier League penalties.
“Can only apologise for the penalty miss, thought we created enough to get something from the game. We go again and stay together,” Rice tweeted.
“Head up, @_DeclanRice. We go again Thursday [fist bump emoji],” West Ham’s verified Twitter account responded.
Although Forest’s winning goal, which occurred at the opposite end of the field, was unfortunate for Rice, it had a lot to do with luck.
Ben Johnson stopped Lingard’s goal-bound shot, and the ball bounced right to Awoniyi before finding the back of the net.

Lauren acquired English citizenship because she was born there on June 16, 1999.
In 2017, Declan Rice and his girlfriend first met, making them high school sweethearts. The two fell in love right away and decided to travel life’s path together.
The two have remained together up until this point, and it appears that their bond has grown stronger over time.
It is believed that Declan Rice cheated on his girlfriend, Lauren. In Las Vegas, the football player reportedly partied with gorgeous women at Marquee. There was no evidence, nevertheless, that he betrayed Lauren, his girlfriend.

Declan Rice was, however, given an 8-year deal worth £200,000 a week by West Ham, which would have made him the highest-paid player in the history of the team. However, the 23-year-old turned down all offers and is willing to leave this summer.
The sizable new eight-year contract offer West Ham United made to Declan Rice was an effort to deter transfer interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.
