Arsenal flop David Luiz has been savaged online after missing a sitter in the dying moments of Flamengo's derby defeat to Botafogo.Luiz had an unsuccessful two-year stint with the Gunners after quitting Chelsea back in 2019, with the erratic defender perhaps best remembered for a string of high-profile clangers.
