DAVID LUIZ was mistaken for Matteo Guendouzi after the West Ham stadium announcer got the big-haired pair mixed up.
The Gunners duo were both on the bench at the London Stadium.

After Granit Xhaka went off injured with a suspected concussion, Frenchman Guendouzi came on as a replacement – but the announcer thought it was Luiz.
Arsenal’s Twitter account had to verify to their fans that the ex-Chelsea man was NOT being subbed on – it was his lookalike team-mate.
Guendouzi helped Arsenal see out their 3-1 lead after the visitor’s came from 1-0 down to give caretaker boss Freddie Ljungberg his first win since replacing Unai Emery.
Gabriel Martinelli equalised before club record signing Nicolas Pepe cut in from the right to put Arsenal 2-1 up with 25 minutes to go.
The Ivorian winger was involved in the third to wrap up the points with skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rounding off the win.
Ljungberg will have little time to celebrate though, having been dealt further injury blows.
