Emery hails Martinez as world's best after match-winning Lille antics

Unai Emery has hailed Emi Martinez as the world's best goalkeeper after his controversial performance in Aston Villa's dramatic win over Lille. Martinez had the last laugh over Lille fans after winding them up all night, saving two penalties in the shoot-out to set up a Europa Conference League semi-final clash with Olympiacos. The Argentina star will miss that game after collecting three bookings across the quarter-final, including one during the shoot-out. Emery defended him stoutly after the match at Stade Pierre Mauroy and went even further on Friday, ahead of Villa's Premier League clash with Bournemouth on Sunday.
