Emiliano Martínez’s Stunning Save Hailed as One of Premier League’s Greatest

The Aston Villa goalkeeper's acrobatic stop against Nottingham Forest drew widespread acclaim but couldn't prevent a 2-1 defeat.

Emiliano Martínez executed a remarkable behind-the-back save in the 59th minute of Aston Villa's match against Nottingham Forest, stopping a near-certain goal from Nicolás Domínguez.
The save has been described as 'world-class' by the Premier League and 'the best save ever' by several analysts, including former players and pundits.
Despite Martínez's heroics, Aston Villa ultimately lost 2-1 after conceding two late goals, with Forest scoring in the 87th minute and again during injury time.
Martínez, a two-time Ballon d’Or Best Goalkeeper winner, is known for his crucial saves, including a famous stop in the 2022 World Cup final against France.
The victory propelled Nottingham Forest to fourth place in the Premier League standings, while Aston Villa remained in sixth.
