Arsenal defender David Luiz made an error leading to a goal, conceded a penalty and got sent off in a horrendous 25-minute cameo against Manchester City this evening.

The Brazilian hadn’t even started at the Etihad Stadium, but came on as a substitute in the 24th minute following an injury to Pablo Mari.

His error in stoppage time at the end of the first-half resulted in Raheem Sterling scoring the opening goal. Luiz failed to clear the ball, allowing the England international to break the deadlock.

He then conceded a penalty in the 49th-minute for hauling down Riyad Mahrez. The former Chelsea man was shown a red card because he had denied a clear goalscoring opportunity and had not been attempting to play the ball.

Pep Guardiola’s side went on to score a third goal in injury time at the end of the game through young midfielder Phil Foden.
