After David Luiz took us by surprise with that stunning effort against Liverpool, I had a little debate with my colleague if it was a spontaneous decision to catch Mignolet unawares or probably a training ground routine, and many people had that debate too.
Gary Cahill has confirmed that the goal was just a moment of magic from David Luiz and that it wasn’t planned.
The Chelsea stand-in captain said: “Between the two it was smart thinking.
“He [David Luiz] used his initiative, saw an opportunity to take it quickly and smashed it in. That was just sharp, bright play. Sometimes you have times in a game when you can make a decision and catch a team unaware, that’s exactly what it was.”
