Emiliano MartĂnez will not want to watch back Aston Villaâs trip to Nottingham Forest after a rare blunder.
Just two minutes into the second half, with his side already trailing, the Argentina international attempted to stop Orel Mangalaâs long-range attempt.
But MartĂnez fumbled the effort from the edge of the penalty area into his own net to see Unai Emeryâs slide fall further behind their Midlands rivals.
His poor handling arrived in the same week that the 31-year-old was recognised as the best goalkeeper in world football at the Ballon dâOr awards.
