He’s back! Relive David Luiz’s best 7 Chelsea FC goals
Luiz’s placed finish against Bayer Leverkusen (2011)
David Luiz is a man often associated with powerful, swerving and dipping shots. This effort against Bayer Leverkusen showed that he had finesse to his offensive game as well.
In the early part of that eventually glorious 2011/12 campaign, Andre Villas Boas was in charge. Leverkusen were the first opponents for the Blues in the Champions League that season and they defeated them 2-0.
Juan Mata finished off the scoring in second-half stoppage time, but David Luiz got the ball rolling with this sumptuous right-footed effort. He started the move by carrying the ball through each third of the pitch and into the box, then finished Fernando Torres’ lay-off expertly.
