Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was left delighted after their 0-0 draw with Manchester City.

Martinez was outstanding for the point.

He later said: "We talked in the week about commitment, every player who came on or played in the XI gave that extra 1% to get the result. Not easy to go 1-0 down straight after the second half but the character gave us a lift and we had more chances to score

"Sometimes you have nothing to do for 45 minutes but my job is to keep the team in the game and use my strength. Leon [Bailey] scored a good goal and all the saves count.

"When we're in a bad run I'm the first one to take the blame. I normally try to save my team and obviously after Arsenal I was gutted. I'm happy to take some credit for the saves today."
