Jack Grealish hails Emiliano Martinez after Aston Villa draw

Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion cancelled each other out in a goalless draw last night.

Brighton were arguably the better side and they could have easily won the game. However, Aston Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez put in a world-class display to earn a point for his side.

The 28-year-old Argentine shot-stopper has been in red hot form since joining the West Midlands club from Arsenal.

He pulled off nine saves against Brighton last night. Villa put on a mediocre performance as a team and their in-form keeper bailed them out.

Aston Villa star Jack Grealish has taken to Twitter after the game to lavish praise on his teammate.
