Arsenal fans all over the world weren't happy with their most experienced defender following social media reactions. The Brazilian came on as a substitute and conceded two goals for the away side.
Manchester City defeated Mikel Arteta in his return to the Etihad stadium on Wednesday night.
It was a 3-0 scoreline, which saw Raheem Sterling, take the lead when Luiz poor clearance fell to the path of the English forward and he did justice to the ball.
David Luiz who come on after injury to Pablo Mari in the 24th minutes saw another error when he received a red card for tackling Mahrez in the box, and and Kevin De Bruyne made it 2-0.
Speaking after the game, the former Parei Saint German defender has taken the blame for the loss.
"It was not the team's fail, it was my fault. The coach is amazing, all the players did amazing, it was just my fault," Luiz told Sky Sports .
"I should have taken a different decision in the last two months. I didn't - it was all about my contract. I don't want to use that as an alibi or excuse, it's just my fault and that's it."
If you recall that Luiz was signed in the summer window at the beginning of the season from rival Chelsea on a year deal with an option to extend.
There are suggestions that the club are set to offer him an extension at the Emirates stadium.
He added: "I love to be here that is why I continue to train hard and that is why I came today. Nobody asked me to speak, it is up to me to show my face.
"I want to stay. The coach knows and wants me to stay, we are waiting for the decisions."
Meanwhile, the third goal came when Phil Foden came from the bench to score in the 90th minutes.
