Emiliano Martinez impressed in Villa’s win over Arsenal on Sunday. He made a brilliant save to deny Leandro Trossard a direct goal, before seeing his parent club score two late goals at the other end.
The defeat to Aston Villa could hurt Arsenal fans more as it was inspired by one of the old ones including Unai Emery and Martinez.
After the match, the Argentine goalkeeper shared about Arsenal and Mikel Arteta. In addition, the 2022 World Cup champion also expressed his joy for defeating his old club:
” I enjoy every victory but the fans have supported the team at home and away. We know an away win will give the players hope of qualifying for the Champions League.
“This is the first step, we have five finals left. But we need to enjoy this match and then come back midweek and try to reach the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League.”
The victory at Emirates Stadium helped Villa move 3 points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham. Martinez contributed greatly to the club’s current achievements. He is playing excellently at Villa, something that more or less makes Arsenal fans regret.
