A selection of Aston Villa fans reacted on Twitter after Emiliano Martinez’s penalty heroics for Argentina against Colombia in the Copa America.

The 28-year-old joined the Villans from Arsenal last summer, and had a terrific debut campaign, registering 15 clean sheets in the Premier League.

He has now established himself as the first-choice keeper with his national team, having only made his debut at the beginning of June against Chile.

Argentina reached the final of Copa America last night, and Martinez was the stand-out performer, making three saves against Colombia in the penalty shoot-out.

His performance has led to plenty of praise from many Villa fans while some of them took a dig at the Gunners, who decided to sell him for just £17 million.
