Emiliano Martínez will not want to watch back Aston Villa’s trip to Nottingham Forest after a rare blunder.
Just two minutes into the second half, with his side already trailing, the Argentina international attempted to stop Orel Mangala’s long-range attempt.
But Martínez fumbled the effort from the edge of the penalty area into his own net to see Unai Emery’s slide fall further behind their Midlands rivals.
His poor handling arrived in the same week that the 31-year-old was recognised as the best goalkeeper in world football at the Ballon d’Or awards.
