Arsenal manager Arteta lauds David Luiz for Man City performance

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with David Luiz's performance against Manchester City on Saturday.

The Brazilian was only brought into the starting line-up after a late injury to Rob Holding.

The Gunners were defeated 1-0 at the Etihad, but Arteta was pleased with his veteran defender.

He told Football.London: "It was bad enough to make the decision to get him out of the game and get David in.

"David was really focused, he came on and I think he had a great game."
