That Martinez error is brutal timing because his shot stopping has been solid all season but one fumble completely changes the narrative. What's interesting is Villa hit the crossbar at 0-0 which shows they had moments, but those moments dont translate into points when the execution falters. I've seen this pattern before where a team dominates possession but a single defensive lapse decides everything.
He's having a really funny season. Until about February last years he was below par. In general he's been better than that but big errors are more common, most annoyingly the self-inflicted stuff from corners. Then there's the injury, which isn't helping anyone of course.
