Former Chelsea captain, John Terry, has jumped to David Luiz’s defence after his red card in Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to Wolves.
According to Terry, “anyone who has ever played the game” will agree that Luiz should have stayed on the field.
The Gunners were firmly dominating the game, after Nicolas Pepe fired them in front with a brilliant solo effort in the 32nd minute.
But Luiz was sent off for bringing down Willian Jose and Ruben Neves made no mistake with the resulting penalty.
Joao Moutinho made it 2-1 with a stunning long-range strike and Bernd Leno also received a straight card, after handling the ball outside his area with 18 minutes left.
Luiz’s former team mate, John Terry, is adamant the Brazil international should have remained on the field, as no attempt was made to play the ball.
“Never a red card! Double jeopardy,” Terry said in response to Sky Sports’ post about Luiz’s record of three red cards and six penalties conceded since joining Arsenal.
“Anyone who has ever played the game can see David never attempts to play the ball!!!
“He actually pulls out of the challenge. Which means penalty but no red card.”
