Chelsea matchwinner David Luiz happy to accept criticism

The defender answered his critics with a goal against Manchester City on Saturday, and says negative comments are just part of the job

Chelsea's David Luiz says he accepts criticism of his performances, conceding it is simply part of the job of being a Premier League defender.

The Brazil international's role in the side had been brought into question by some during Chelsea's defeat to Tottenham last month and again during the loss at Wolves on Wednesday.

However, David Luiz responded with a commanding display and goal in Chelsea's 2-0 victory against champions Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
