The world champion was key in his team's draw with another decisive save.

In a new day of the Premier League, the last before the stoppage due to FIFA date, Emiliano Martínez's Aston Villa achieved a draw with a taste of little against Wolverhampton on their visit to the Wolves' home. The score ended 1 to 1 and the Dibu team finished the match with an extra man due to the expulsion in the last minutes of Mario Lemina. The world champion was once again decisive in avoiding another fall from his bow.

With Emiliano Martínez among the starters, Aston Villa had just beaten Brighton 6-1 in the previous round of the Premier League and obtained a victory in the UEFA Conference League during the week, while the Wolves arrived with their chests inflated after breaking the unbeaten lead Manchester City the previous weekend by beating them 2-1.

Wolverhampton was the first to strike during the match by opening the scoring in the 53rd minute through Korean Hee-Chan Hwang, but the Villans quickly reacted and, with an assist from Ollie Watkins, Pau Torres established the tie in one that would end being definitive despite the fact that the Dibu team almost came away empty-handed after a superb save by the Argentine goalkeeper himself and a shot on the post at the end.

 

While they praise the rival goalkeeper, what the English press says about Dibu's save

At the beginning of the second stage, Ollie Watkins had the first chance for Aston Villa with a shot that was contained by the Wolves goalkeeper, and which the British media The Sun described as “a fantastic save.” And in the 73rd minute, Emiliano Martínez avoided the fall of his goal by containing a shot from former Barcelona, Nelson Semedo, who had entered the area after a fake that made him miss the defense. However, the same site was responsible for lowering the price of his save: “Semedo bursts in from behind, sends Torres down by rolling his studs over the ball, then shoots directly at Martínez's body with his weaker left foot! ”.
