Best save ever? - but Martinez can't stop 'huge moment' for Forest
Image caption, Emiliano Martinez has twice won the Yashin Trophy for the world's best goalkeeperBBC pundit Marcus Albrighton wasn't the only one who thought the deadlock had finally been broken by Nottingham Forest's Nicolas Dominguez.
It had been a drab affair at the City Ground until Dominguez's header went past compatriot Emiliano Martinez in the Aston Villa goal.
Morgan Gibbs-White flicked on a Forest corner and, from just four yards out, midfielder Dominguez stooped to head goalwards.
The ball was behind Martinez. Yet somehow, like a "magician", the Argentine keeper reached back and managed to stop it on the goal-line and drag it away from goal.
