On July 18, 2020, Arsenal defeated Manchester City 2-0 at Wembley Stadium, securing a spot in the FA Cup finals.
However, in a surprising move, Ian Wright, a former Arsenal star, overlooked Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who scored twice in the match, in his list of players who impressed him.
Instead, Wright praised Ainsley Maitland-Niles, David Luiz, Emiliano Martinez, Kieran Tierney, Shkodran Mustafi, and Hector Bellerin for their outstanding performances.
Wright's praise for Luiz came just days after the Brazilian defender faced criticism for his below-par performances.
Despite the criticism, Luiz delivered a huge performance against Manchester City, earning praise from Wright and another Arsenal striker, Robin van Persie.
With Arsenal advancing to the finals, they will face the winner of the Chelsea-Man United semi-final match, scheduled for July 19, 2020, at Wembley Stadium.
