The Premier League is back, David Luiz is REALLY back and football takes a knee

The Premier League returned on Wednesday night. There were no fans, the players stayed socially distant in the build up and it was like nothing we had seen before. Well, kind of. Because out of the darkness emerged a hero for our times, a man to tell us that everything will be all right. That man was David Luiz. In a world of uncertainty, David Luiz provided a reminder that some things don’t change. When he came on as a sub, he made up for lost time by being at fault for City’s first goal and bringing down Riyad Mahrez for the second which led to his sending off. And the world breathed easily again. On The Football Spin, Paddy McKenna, Dion Fanning and Nooruddean Choudry talk about the Premier League’s return, Luiz’s special talents and the importance of all players in Wednesday’s matches taking a knee as part of the Black Lives Matter protests.
