Newcastle largely won (5-1) against Aston Villa on Saturday in the Premier League, and Emiliano Martinez, the Argentine goalkeeper for the Villans, distinguished himself with a rather unusual madness.
Not content with having qualified for the Champions League last spring, Newcastle offered a first card to their public at St James’ Park on Saturday at the opening of the Premier League, when Aston Villa came. A 5-1 victory without appeal, with an entry goal from Sandro Tonali (5th), the star rookie of the Magpies this summer.
The Swedish prodigy Alexander Isak then made the show with a double (16th and 58th), before late goals from Callum Wilson (77th) and Harvey Barnes (91st). It was the French international Moussa Diaby, recruited for 55 million euros, who scored for the Villans in the first period (11th).
The formation led by Unai Emery could have found themselves at 10 on a rather improbable fault by their goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez before half-time (45th + 9). The Argentinian world champion, out of his area, took a hook from Miguel Almiron and completely hooked the Paraguayan attacking midfielder. For just one warning.
