Exactly two weeks back, David Luiz attracted a wide range of criticism for moving out of the way of Kane’s shot at Wembley. But, now he claims the man of the match award for setting everything in motion with an exquisite long ball resulting in Chelsea’s opener and then drilling the final nail in the coffin himself to seal a memorable victory over the champions.
