The last couple of weeks have been a roller coaster ride for David Luiz. From being responsible for conceding all 3 goals against Tottenham, to putting in a fantastic shift and scoring the winner against Manchester City.

David Luiz has been one of Chelsea's most inconsistent defenders this season, and has shockingly been responsible for over 50 percent of the goals Chelsea have conceded this season, playing a part in 7 of the 13 goals conceded by Maurizio Sarri's side. Critics and pundits called for Andreas Christensen to replace the Brazilian, but Luiz has proved to be Chelsea's big match player once again.

It was Luiz's lob pass to Pedro which kicked off the counterattack that eventually led to Chelsea's first goal, and the Brazilian was also solid defensively, holding his shape. Most importantly, Luiz scored an amazing header to wrap the game up for The Blues.
