I hope he's playing on Saturday.

Not awarding the goal against Villa is a travesty and a whole waste of the game.
It should be awarded after review and the table adjusted.
It is so wrong to just do nothing and shrug the shoulders.
Arsenal are still going to beat us.

Graham Potter's going to manage to get the best out of David Luiz when he comes to us because nobody else wants him.

I thought they werent doing the double jeopardy of red card + penalty

According to the NBC coverage over here, the defending playing has to make a legitimate attempt to play the ball (and the ref decided in this case Luiz didn't).

No idea if that is correct or not.

That is correct, if a player is deemed to have made a genuine attempt to play the ball when committing the foul then only a penalty is given. Violent conduct or a professional foul will still result in a red card. Luiz made no attempt to play the ball, he didn't even break his stride in an attempt to get to the ball, so was sent off for what the ref considered a professional foul.

Y'know who I feel sorry for in all this? Carl Jenkinson. There he is, yers later, having finally put that awful day behind him, and now he has to wake up to all the news and social media comments going on about how Luiz is the first player to make a mistake leading to a goal, concede a penalty and get sent off in one game since Carl Jenkinson. I've not turned my TV on, but I won't be surprised of Sky are replaying his incidences, too...

3 game suspension

Isn't it just one for denying a goal scoring opportunity? Seems harsh to consider that foul 'violent conduct'.

The only professional aspect of his 22 minute cameo - word up.

It is always a one game suspension unless the red card was for violent conduct. However Luiz will miss 2 games, an extra game has been added to his suspension as this was his second red of the season following his sending off in the 2-2 draw against Chelsea in January.
