Emery criticises Martinez
Unai Emery has openly criticises Emiliano Martinez after the Aston Villa goalkeeper went up for a last-minute corner against Arsenal.
The ball was cleared and Fabio Vieira sent Gabriel Martinelli through to score into an open net.
Emery told BT Sport: “I have never told my goalkeeper to go and score one goal in the 90th minute, because maybe – and I don’t know the data – maybe one goal in 100, maybe 20 times they [the opponents] are doing a counter transition and they are scoring 10 goals.
“Today, it happened. And for me it’s not being very smart, not being very consistent in how we want to play, how we want to compete. We can play, we can lose 2-3, but 2-4? It’s not a good result.”
