The Head Coach”Aston Villas » Unai Emery criticized the goalkeeper of his team Emiliano Martinez for the decision to take his goal out and go for the corner late in the game on the 24th Premier League morning with Arsenal.
The match was held in Birmingham on Saturday and ended with the score 4:2 in favor of the guests. In stoppage time, at 2-3 against Arsenal, Martínez entered the opposing box from a corner to help his team score a goal and equalize. However, the guests managed to intercept the ball, after which Gabriel Martinelli went into an empty net and scored the fourth goal against the hosts.
— I never told my goalkeeper to score a goal in the 92nd minute. I don’t have statistics at hand, but goalkeepers in such situations score 1 goal in 100. We can lose with a score of 2:3, but 2:4 is not good,” Emery quotes Reuters.
In the match against Arsenal, Martinez also scored an own goal when, after a shot from Jorginho, the ball bounced off the woodwork, hit the keeper in the head and ended up in the goal.
Aston Villa are 11th in the Premier League table with 28 points.
