David Luiz has proved the doubters wrong since returning to the Premier League from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian has been almost flawless as part of Chelsea's three-man defence and appears to have ironed-out some issues with his game. Brain fart moments such this now seem to be a thing of the past and he's arguably become of the league's best defenders. luiz-nutmeg Some things never change though and Luiz showed the crafty side to his game during Chelsea's win over Crystal Palace in the early Premier League kick-off on Saturday. Just before half-time, the Chelsea defender won a free-kick by just deliberately running into Jason Puncheon. capture-20161217-135912-vert Was this cheating? Probably, but it was also pretty clever and left Puncheon looking very confused. capture-20161217-140447-vert1 Luiz is no stranger to getting one over opponents. Back in 2013, he annoyed a lot of people for his part in Rafael getting sent-off for Manchester United. The impetuous defender kicked-out at Luiz, who dropped to the ground clutching his leg, as though he was hurt, only to smile at the United fans in the crowd. Classic Luiz, that.
