Neville slams one Arsenal player over ‘stupid’ challenge

Gary Neville called David Luiz’s challenge on N’Golo Kante “ridiculous” during Arsenal’s 2-1 loss to Chelsea.

Two goals in the last seven minutes from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham saw the Blues come back from a goal down to beat Mikel Arteta’s men.

Neville was left baffled by a high-footed challenge from Luiz on Kante that narrowly avoided contact with the Chelsea midfielder’s head.

And the pundit reckoned that it could have even been a red card despite referee Craig Pawson having a clear view of the incident.

“I have to say that’s unorthodox and stupid from David Luiz,” Neville told Sky Sports.

“He just follows through ridiculously, I’m not sure he makes contact but what is he doing?

“It’s a ridiculous thing to do, he’s played so well, the team have played so well, then you see that.

“You think about what [Heung-min] Son got sent off for in the game against Chelsea last week then you see that.

“That’s just ridiculous, look at Kante, he looks towards the referee and says, ‘you gonna allow that?’.”
