Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa: Emiliano Martinez is the hero again as he makes string of top saves to deny Seagulls win and ensure Premier League clash finishes goalless

With each passing game, Arsenal's decision to let Emiliano Martinez leave is looking more and more foolish. Aston Villa's £17million goalkeeper was the reason they did not lose last night.

Come the end of this campaign, Martinez will be a contender for the Premier League's signing of the season. The super saves aside, the 28-year-old Argentinian deserves bonus points for wearing short sleeves on a night as cold as this.

Brighton's players lined up to have a go and one by one, they saw their shots saved by the magnificent Martinez. As a result, Villa have now beaten their points total from last season.
