Is this the greatest save in Premier League history? Jamie Redknapp makes bold claim following Emiliano Martinez's heroic stop against Forest... but it's not enough to secure Aston Villa victory

Jamie Redknapp has lauded Emiliano Martinez's stunning save-of-the-season contender against Nottingham Forest as the best he's seen 'in his life'.

The Argentine shot-stopper pulled off an outstanding reactionary save to deny Nicolas Dominguez's header from close-range at the City Ground on Saturday.

A Forest corner in the 69th minute was whipped into a dangerous area inside Villa's box and an initial header at the front-post then found the head of Dominguez who thought he had scored.

His header had most of those inside the City Ground on their feet cheering only for Martinez to ruin the celebrations with one of the best saves of his career.
