Dibu Martinez stars as Aston Villa beat Wolves in Premier League | OneFootball

Aston Villa faced Wolverhampton on Matchday 13 of the 2025/2026 Premier League and won 1-0 with a great performance from Dibu Martínez.

The Villans consolidated their good form to keep fighting for European spots.

They achieved their fifth consecutive victory, although it was anything but easy: they struggled against the bottom team in the table and had to rely on Dibu Martínez to withstand the visitors’ attacks.

Wolverhampton showed a better version of themselves, now without Vitor Pereira, but it was not enough to win away from home.

In fact, the visitors managed to break the deadlock in the first quarter of an hour, but luck was not on their side: Strand Larsen scored after a cutback, but Jhon Arias was in an offside position interfering with Dibu, and the goal was disallowed.

In that first half, the Wolves had the best chances and forced Dibu into action, who made his best save against a header from the Colombian Mosquera.

The Argentine got a touch, the ball hit the crossbar, and Martínez got his hand to it again to keep it out.

At their worst moment, when their play wasn’t flowing, the home side found the 1-0 in the 67th minute with a goal from another game: Kamara unleashed a rocket from outside the box and put it in the top corner, unstoppable for Johnstone.

Needing an equalizer and to earn their third point of the season, Wolverhampton threw everything forward, but once again ran into the Argentine wall.

At 90+5’, in their last chance, the visitors had another powerful shot inside the box, but Dibu cleared the danger.

The final whistle blew and Aston Villa secured a hugely important win in the Premier League. They climbed to third place for the moment and are right in the fight for the European spots.
