Emiliano Martinez makes a silly mistake

In the early morning of November 2, the Argentine goalkeeper "assisted" Mohamed Salah to score in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Aston Villa in round 10 of the Premier League.

In the 45+1 minute, when the score was 0-0, Emiliano Martinez, instead of passing to Pau Torres, sent the ball straight to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian star immediately shot into the empty net, bringing a surprising opening goal for the home team. Before that, Liverpool had 13 shots but the efficiency was 0.

Salah scored in two consecutive appearances.

According to statistics from Opta, Martinez's "assist" helped Salah (188 goals, 88 assists) equal Wayne Rooney's record for the number of times he participated in goals for a Premier League club (276 goals + assists for Manchester United).

In the second half, Liverpool continued to play proactively. In the 52nd minute, it was Pau Torres' turn to help the home team double the gap. Ryan Gravenberch's long-range shot hit the Spanish defender's foot, leaving Martinez helpless.

Aston Villa rose strongly in the remaining minutes but the efforts of Donyell Malen, Ross Barkley, and Jadon Sancho were all ineffective.

Liverpool ended their losing streak in the Premier League, returning to third place with 18 points, 7 points behind leaders Arsenal. Meanwhile, Aston Villa's 4-match winning streak ended and they are stuck in 11th place. This is also the 11th consecutive year that "The Villains" have failed to win at Anfield.
