The Red maintained their winning start to the Premier League season after defeating the Gunners 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday evening.
One of the talking points was Luiz's foul on Salah which led to the penalty and ultimately gave the hots a 2-0 lead.
Luiz defended his actions and reveals Salah told him he felt no contact, which is why he didn't go to ground.
‘I think the second goal, the penalty, killed the game," Luiz told Sky Sports after the game.
‘Yes [it was instinctive], I think you cannot take this out of the players, it’s just a reflex. When I turn I see and I take but I take off the power [of the pull].
‘That’s when I spoke with Momo [Salah] and he said, “I didn’t feel you touch me, that’s why I didn’t go down to the floor”.
