Arsenal’s Luiz equals Sonko’s unwanted Premier League record in awful show at Manchester City

David Luiz has equalled Ibrahima Sonko’s undesirable Premier League following having conceded a penalty in Arsenal’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.

He becomes the first player to have given away four penalties in a single top-flight season since Jose Fonte at Southampton in 2016-17, living up to his reputation as one of the most unreliable defenders in European football.

Also in this rank includes the ex-Senegal international, Gary Caldwell, Claus Lundekvam, Ken Monkou and Luc Nijholt.

The English topflight returned on Wednesday after over three month of suspension following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
