David Luiz has no chill, tackles reporter and pins him down for the count
Everyone knows that guy: the guy who takes pranks a bit too far sometimes. On Chelsea, that person is probably David Luiz, who wanted to interrupt the Chelsea in-house correspondent in the middle of report, and did this:

Ooof. The Brazilian knocks down Chelsea TV's Lee Parker and pins him to the ground, in a prank that probably wasn't the best idea. They're both laughing as Parker pleads for mercy, telling the Chelsea defender, "I'm tapping out." Luiz keeps him down for a three count and relents.
Based on that clip alone, it seems the lingering knee injury that's bothered Luiz since December isn't too much of a problem anymore. Antonio Conte confirmed as much on Friday, telling reporters Luiz will continue to be rested but should be ready to play for Chelsea's Feb. 28 match vs. Swansea.
In the end, no one got hurt in Luiz's surprise smackdown and everyone had a laugh about it, but that doesn't mean there wasn't no collateral damage done. Parker's suit couldn't survive the grass stains, it seems:

Every job has its risks, and a wild David Luiz getting loose is apparently one when you're around Chelsea. Noted.
