Facing Fulham during the 8th day of the Premier League, Aston Villa won thanks to goals from Roges, Watkins and Diop, against their camp (3-1). But before that, the Villains were above all saved by the unstoppable Emiliano Martínez, author of another save in front of Andreas Pereira, stopping a penalty in the 27th minute.
While the score was 1-1, the Argentine goalkeeper anticipated his opponent’s attempt by stopping him perfectly with a dive to his left. A lodger at heart, the reigning World Champion took care to celebrate by turning to the opposing supporters to send them a kiss and kiss the Aston Villa crest. A turning point allowing Unai Emery’s men to win.
