Meanwhile, Brentford defeated Newcastle 3-1, while Nottingham Forest achieved the same result against Leeds. Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez had an extraordinary performance, saving a penalty and making several key saves in Aston Villa's 4-0 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday, valid for the eleventh round of the Premier League. The Albiceleste's Emiliano Buendía and Amadou Onana were the ones to open the scoring at the 28th and 40th minutes of the first half, respectively. Antoine Semenyo had the opportunity to pull one back for the visitors at the 22nd minute of the second half, but 'Dibu', the Argentina national team goalkeeper, became the hero and saved the spot-kick to keep the clean sheet. The missed penalty was a major blow to Bournemouth's morale, and they were unable to get back into the game, conceding two more goals to Ross Barkley in the 32nd minute and Donyell Malen in the 37th. Following the win, the team managed by Unai Emery moved into sixth place in the English League with 18 points, the same as Bournemouth (9th), who suffered two consecutive defeats. In other matches of the round, Crystal Palace (10th) drew 0-0 with Brighton (11th).
