David Luiz has been accused of being all arms and legs on occasions at Chelsea, and that could easily have been labelled at him after scoring Chelsea’s winner last night.

The Brazilian defender, who celebrated his 26th birthday party earlier in the week with a fancy-dress party, had even greater cause for celebration when he netted a late winner for Rafa Benitez’s side against Basle in the first-leg of the Europa League semi-final last night.
Luiz’s free-kick found its way into the net at the death to leave the Swiss side staring down the barrel of a European exit ahead of the daunting trip to London.
Naturally pleased with the all-important goal, he slid on the pitch before raising his hands to the sky to give thanks to the heavens above. While that is all perfectly fine, what made it interesting was the presence of Victor Moses directly behind him giving a hug. Interesting in so far as Moses arms are the only part of him we see.

They do say it is better to be forearmed than forewarned.
