The Premier League experienced an intense day over the weekend in which Aston Villa once again surprised with its good performance in the league. Unai Emery's team achieved its third consecutive victory by beating Brentford 2-1, after beating Manchester City and Arsenal previously.
However, in the midst of the great present of the Villanos, who have accumulated 12 wins in 17 dates and are third in the tournament, the British press found Emiliano Dibu Martínez a focus of criticism, as a result of his last performance at the Gtech Community Stadium, where he was involved in a series of altercations that ended with a teammate being expelled.
In the latest episode of the It's All Kicking Off podcast, journalists Ian Ladyman and Mike Keegan from Mail Sports classified the world champion as a disoriented for his disgraceful actions during the final minutes, in which the Argentine goalkeeper had two crosses with striker Neal Maupay when his team won 2-1.
“I don't like Martínez at all and yesterday was a shame,” said Keegan after seeing how the former Arsenal player “went flying in his area as if the world was ending” after slight contact with Maupay. That action was added to the one that occurred minutes later, when the footballer did the same thing that the goalkeeper had done, by letting himself fall resoundingly due to a slight push from the Dibu.

“He attacked the Brentford player for the same thing. Literally a few seconds ago he had done the same thing,” the journalist considered. While Maupay was laughing when he saw Martínez rolling across the grass, in the next play the man from Mar del Plata suddenly picked him up by his shirt, which sparked a small altercation that the referee resolved with a red card for Boubacar Kamara.
