Tottenham 3-1 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#2 David Luiz: Back to his old ways?

Luiz struggled severely and might have just played his way out of Sarri's long-term plans

Silly, naive, inexcusable. These are some of the words being used to describe David Luiz's individual display during a match which perfectly highlighted the Brazilian's defensive flaws once again.

We're aware he is a fantastic passer with excellent range and vision to match. Comfortable on the ball and prepared to put his body on the line, fair enough. But his decision-making, at 31-years-old? Still heavily inconsistent. Here was no exception.

Only Marcos Alonso (95) had more touches than his 81 over the 90 minutes, despite having the backline's worst pass accuracy rate at 84.9%. He may have completed two tackles, four interceptions and four clearances - but most of them were either a direct result of his own mistakes or covering up for a teammate's poor positioning.

In this case, Antonio Rudiger didn't prove much help as a calming influence at the back. But the German was booked early on and didn't appear to trust his centre-back partner enough to settle after Spurs' sucker punch.

For the first goal, he needlessly gave away a soft free-kick. That's typical Luiz of old - being rash and reckless. Alli's header was too powerful for Kepa to thwart, despite getting fingertips to it.

Tottenham's second was hopeless. Kane's strike from range flew goalwards and instead of stepping forward to block, he flinched and moved directly away from the shot, leaving his goalkeeper unsighted.

But their third was by far the worst. Son's slaloming run into the box was an adventurous one but rather than coming across and standing him up, or showing patience with a tackle attempt, the Brazilian ran full speed at him and saw the ball knocked straight past on his way to an easy one-on-one chance.

Sarri said he was pleasantly surprised by Luiz upon his arrival over the summer, while Antonio Conte's decision to freeze him out completely was a major talking point during his final few months in charge. With a dismal performance like this, perhaps it's time for Andreas Christensen to get an extended run-in the team after all.
