Buendía stunner and Dibu Martínez heroics see Aston Villa beat Newcastle | OneFootball

The Argentine attacking midfielder Emiliano Buendía scored a stunning goal to help Aston Villa defeat Newcastle 2-0 away at St. James Park, in the 23rd round of the Premier League. Dibu Martínez was also a starter for the visitors.

The 29-year-old from Mar del Plata, who returned in mid-2025 after a loan at Bayer Leverkusen, received the ball outside the box and unleashed a long-range right-footed shot that went in against the right post of goalkeeper Nick Pope, who stretched unsuccessfully.

With this spectacular goal, Buendía, who was replaced by Lucas Digne in the 75th minute, reached 17 goals in 127 matches wearing the Aston Villa jersey. The player, who is seeking to catch Lionel Scaloni's attention for a call-up to the Argentine National Team, has scored 62 goals in 379 career matches.

Additionally, the Argentine Emiliano Martínez was also a starter in the team managed by Unai Emery, amid rumors of interest from Inter Milan. Dibu was crucial with two key interventions: he blocked a clear chance with his feet from Sandro Tonali, who made a great play, and then saved a header with his right hand from Lewis Miley.

With this result, Aston Villa reached 46 points on the table and is in third place, with the same points as Manchester City - second - and four points behind the leader Arsenal, who will face Manchester United. In the next round, the Argentine squad will host Brentford.
