The Argentine goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in the win over Newcastle and has gone four games without conceding in the Premier.
Emiliano Martínez was one of the Aston Villa figures who achieved a key 3-0 victory against Newcastle to stay in the places that qualify for the Europa League. Jacob Ramsey and Ollie Watkins scored the goals at Villa Park as Dibu achieved their fourth consecutive clean sheet, their tenth in the current Premier League.
The Argentine world champion goalkeeper with the National Team in Qatar 2022 had an outstanding performance. He showed early on that he is at a high level after deflecting a good shot from the Swede Alexander Isak over the crossbar, when there were barely 8 minutes left in the game.
Aston Vila had a great first 15 minutes and in that period, at 10 minutes, Ramsey made it 1-0 after a great qualification from Watkins. If Aston Villa did not extend the score in that first stage, it was due to the efficient task of goalkeeper Nicholas Pope and because the crossbar denied Ramsey the goal.
In the second half the game continued to offer an electrifying development, with Newcastle seeking equality and Aston Villa responding against.
At 13 minutes again “Dibu” Martínez deflected a shot to the left post to Isak, at 15 the VAR annulled a goal play against Watkins for offside and at 19 the 2-0 was consummated through Watkins himself after a pass from Spanish Alex Moreno.
Shortly after the end, Watkins again (14 goals in the Premier), the figure of the match, established the 3-0 scoreline, putting final figures on the scoreboard, against a very good team like Newcastle, who in the second half had the Paraguayan Miguel Almirón , exLanús.
Unai Emery’s team, which included Emiliano Buendía from Mar del Plata among the starters and also a good job, achieved its fifth consecutive victory and has 50 points in sixth place, after 31 rounds.
