Why John McGinn was angry with Emiliano Martinez during Aston Villa’s win over Brentford

What a match, and what a victory for Aston Villa under Unai Emery against Brentford!

These Aston Villa away games never fail to entertain, and their thrilling 2-1

comeback victory over Brentford was no exception.

After Ben Mee was sent off in the second half, the team managed to rally and win

thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins and Alex Moreno, who both scored headers.

 

However, Boubacar Kamara was sent off for a suspected headbutt in the closing

seconds of the game, leaving captain John McGinn “fuming,” as reported by

journalist Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic on Twitter.

 

The Scotland star appeared to be upset with Emiliano Martinez since it appeared

like Martinez was the one who “started the fight.”

Look, Emiliano Martinez was only attempting to defend his teammate; Villa supporters are all too aware that he is a wind-up salesman of the finest caliber.

 

However, it appears that he overreached himself because Boubacar Kamara saw

red, and as a result, he will miss important games for the squad.

 

Fortunately, Sheffield United’s Douglas Luiz, who was suspended for today’s

victory, will be available again, so he will likely simply replace Boubacar Kamara.

John McGinn fuming with Emiliano Martinez

“Kamara sent off,” said Tanswell. “Unai Emery had ran onto the pitch to diffuse the altercation between Martinez and

Maupay. McGinn fuming at Martinez for sparking the fight. Kamara sent off for

leaning his head in. Emery is now booked. Madness.”

Beat Sheffield United and go top of the Premier League table

For next weekend’s fixture, we play first, before anyone else, against bottom-of-

the-table Sheffield United on Friday night.

Win that and we are top of the Premier League table after 18 matches. Yes,

Liverpool and Arsenal might overtake us days later.

However, just psychologically speaking, it would be a huge lift for the club and an

amazing opportunity to win 16 straight games at home.

 

as Unai Emery is doing in a proper manner. Continue to be patient. taking it

cautiously and making sure the group isn’t overestimating itself.
