David Luiz has conceded five penalties this season in the Premier League. AFP

The Brazilian central defender David Luiz gave away another penalty in the match against Watford. That was his fifth of the league season, a Premier League record.

The situation regarding David Luiz is rather curious. In his time at Chelsea, in 160 Premier League games, he gave away just three penalties. In 33 matches for Arsenal, he has conceded five.

It is the most amount of penalties a footballer has given away in a Premier League season. He has made some mistakes in certain incidents which have cost his side.

The last penalty was on the final day of the season in Arsenal's 3-2 win over Watford when David Luiz brought down Welbeck and Deeney scored the penalty.

David Luiz reflects Arsenal's inconsistency, especially in defence. A season to forget for them and only a win versus Chelsea in the FA Cup final will give them Europa League football next term.
