The noise was something I won’t soon forget.
In a Premier League match earlier this season, Arsenal winger Willian whips in a corner kick in the fifth minute against Wolverhampton. David Luiz makes a hard run to get a head on the ball, smashing into Wolves star forward Raul Jiménez. The stands were empty because of the pandemic, so the collision of the two players’ skulls produced an eerie crack that seemed to echo throughout Emirates Stadium.
It was disgusting.
Jiménez suffered a fractured skull, and was rushed to the hospital. David Luiz, though, played on.
