The incident happened in the 7th minute at the Etihad Stadium, Omar Marmoush entered the penalty area from the left wing, beat Matty Cash and passed the ball conveniently to Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese player had a shot straight at Martinez. Instead of pushing the ball out, Martinez let the ball go through his hands and roll into the net, conceding an early goal for Aston Villa.
Aston Villa fans were furious on social media, with one user on X writing: "Emi Martinez is a joke, this is really beyond words, week in and week out with these mistakes!"
Another fan said: "Emi Martinez concedes so many silly goals, yet he is still called the best goalkeeper in the world . Martinez is not even in the top 5, only good at saving penalties in Copa America, his performance is just average."
Another fan stressed: "Definitely not the first time this season that Emi Martinez has conceded an easy goal like that."
