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, on matchday 23 of the Premier League. Dibu Martínez was also a starter for the visiting team.

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 struck 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 trying to catch Lionel Scaloni's attention to be called 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 interventions: in one, he blocked a clear chance from Sandro Tonali with his feet after a great play, and then he saved a header from Lewis Miley with his right hand.

With this result, Aston Villa reached 46 points in the standings and is third, with the same points as Manchester City - second - and four behind leaders Arsenal, who will face Manchester United. In the next round, the Argentine's team will host Brentford.
