Emiliano Martinez
33-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
Keeps clean sheet in win
Martinez recorded no saves and allowed zero goals in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Algeria.
ANALYSIS
Martinez was beaten inside the first 15 minutes but Algeria's goal was ruled out, and he didn't face a big threat the rest of the way. With upcoming games against Austria and Jordan, a scenario in which Martinez ends the group stage with three consecutive clean sheets can't be ruled out.

Inching closer to Juve move?
Martinez is inching closer to completing a Juventus move after agreeing to personal terms with the Serie A club, according to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport.
ANALYSIS
Martinez has been heavily linked with a move away from Aston Villa in the summer, and the fact that he agreed to personal terms with Juventus puts him close to completing a switch to the Serie A giants.
