'It's not good news' - David Luiz injury spoiled perfect afternoon for Arsenal, says Arteta

The Brazil international centre-back limped off early in the second half as he played his first match since March

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says that an injury to David Luiz spoiled an otherwise perfect afternoon as the Gunners won 2-0 at Newcastle in the Premier League.

Goals from Mohamed Elneny and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in either half allowed Arteta’s men to put a Europa League loss against Villarreal behind them and move back up to ninth in the Premier League standings.

However, David Luiz left the field injured early in the second half as he made his Premier League return after around six weeks out.
