WATCH: David Luiz’ response to Sergio Aguero’s red card tackle was unqualified class

David Luiz was lucky to finish Chelsea's latest win in one piece.

The Brazilian played a key role in Chelsea recording a 3-1 win over Manchester City at Eastlands, this afternoon, and paid tribute to the victims of the Chapecoense plane crash with teammate Willian. Luiz was fortunate to escape a red card for a body check on Sergio Aguero in the first half. Perhaps that was playing on Aguero's mind when the Argentine launched himself into an injury time challenge on Luiz. He connected a high boot with Luiz' knee [pictured below] and had no complaints when he was shown a red card. City teammate Fernandinho was also given his marching orders for a serious of open-handed chops on the larynx of Cesc Fabregas. Post-match, Luiz was asked about the Aguero incident and his response was pure class. He said:

"I don't really like to talk about these things. Sometimes the players are frustrated with the result or something that happened. "Sergio is an amazing. He scores a lot of goals and gives a lot to football. "I prefer not to talk about this. I prefer to give this victory for the people in Brazil. It was a difficult week for us, especially emotionally. I had some friends there [at Chapecoense] so it was difficult to prepare the head to play this type of game but I just need to pray for the families and for their hearts as it is a difficult moment for everybody."

Fair play to Luiz for rising above it. Life is too short, he knows, and too precious. Michael Lundy joins Wooly for a wide-ranging discussion that starts with a chat about Ger Loughnane, dodgy transfers and Davy Fitzgerald's training methods. Subscribe here on iTunes.
