Martínez nominated for Premier League Save of the Season

Emi Martínez has been shortlisted for the Premier League Save of the Season Award.

The Aston Villa goalkeeper has been nominated for his incredible reflex stop against Nottingham Forest at The City Ground on December 14, which duly scooped the Premier League Save of the Month honour.

Nicolás Domínguez thought he'd scored for The Reds with a close-range header in the second half, only to see Martínez show amazing reflexes and flexibility to somehow claw his effort off the goal-line.

It was the first time the Argentina international had picked up the Premier League’s monthly award, adding to his growing collection of honours.

Martínez has been nominated alongside David Raya (Aston Villa v Arsenal), Andre Onana (Crystal Palace v Manchester United), Robert Sanchez (Chelsea v Nottingham Forest), Andre Onana (Ipswich Town v Manchester United), Martin Dubravka (Newcastle United v Wolves), Kepa Arrizabalaga (Bournemouth v Wolves), David Raya (Manchester United v Arsenal), Guglielmo Vicario (Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur), Kepa Arrizabalaga (Bournemouth v Aston Villa).

The public vote for the Premier League’s Save of the Season award is open now and closes at 6pm on Friday, May 30 - cast your vote here.

Congratulations and good luck, Emi!
