The emotional elevator. Six days after being praised for winning the Yachine Trophy, rewarding the best goalkeeper on the planet, Emiliano Martínez drowned in a glass of water. Holder during the Premier League meeting between Nottingham Forrest and Aston Villa this Sunday (2-0), the Argentine world champion was indeed guilty of a big error.
While the Villans were trailing 1-0 after Ola Aina’s early opener (5th), Martinez pushed his team a little further upon returning from the locker room. On a strike from Orel Mangala, the Argentinian worked in an unacademic way, enough to deflect the ball into his own goal. If he tried to bluff by suggesting that the ball had not crossed the line, he was betrayed by the referee’s watch. A funny week.
