Despite the final scoreline, Arsenal showed signs of promise in their two Premier League outings under their new manager - Mikel Arteta. Arsenal defender - David Luiz - was inspirational for the home team in the first half but there was an incident in stoppage time that marred his performance at the Emirates.

David Luiz, who moved from Chelsea to Arsenal in the summer transfer window, recklessly fouled N'Golo Kante in the 46th minute. The Brazilian defender's kick narrowly missed the Frenchman’s head.
N'golo Kante just stood there wondering how the referee decided to let that tackle go without booking Luiz. Fans took to Twitter to express their opinions on the incident with many claiming that David Luiz should've been sent off for that tackle.
Luiz tries to take Kante’s head off with his studs right in front the referee, not even a foul.. unbelievable.
