To be honest, Luiz's miss was every bit as bad as Engels' mistake.
Two goals he was at fault with. As good as his play was otherwise, that's a poor game.

I said elsewhere, it's like saying Lorus Karius played well for Liverpool in the CL final before last apart from the two goals he gifted to Madrid. One mistake you can accept, but he made two glaring errors that both led to goals. Elphick would regularly have a generally decent game but drop a bollock to concede and he got pelters for it. Not sure why Engels is defended so much, it's not the first time he's been at fault when we've conceded goals either - see Arsenal away, and wasn't it him looking like he was running through deep water trying to catch Vardy in the Leicester debacle? Compare and contrast to some people vilifying Drinkwater, with one person even trying to blame him for both first half goals.

I'd suggest that Luiz looked slightly complacent about it, but he was thwarted by the defensive effort.
