Unai Emery salutes ‘best in world’ Emiliano Martinez after Villa win at FulhamBy Reuben Rosso-Powell, PAUnai Emery labelled Emiliano Martinez as “the best goalkeeper in the world” after his penalty save helped Aston Villa to a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Afterwards Emery lauded number one Martinez, saying: “Emiliano Martinez is the best goalkeeper in the world. I was sitting and I was dreaming of the save he did.”Watkins’ clinical header off a corner put Villa in the ascendency. “Watkins is being consistent, working, tactically and defensively, creating chances, he had one chance in the first half but Leno made a fantastic save,” Emery added. Fulham were denied a penalty earlier in the season after a similar challenge from West Ham’s Max Kilman on Adama Traore.
