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 by Dibu Martínez.

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

They achieved their fifth consecutive victory, although it was not easy at all: they struggled against the last team in the table and had to rely on Dibu Martínez to hold off the visitors' attacks.

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

In fact, the visitors managed to break the deadlock during the first quarter of an hour, but they were unlucky: Strand Larsen scored after a back pass, but Jhon Arias was offside interfering with Dibu, and the goal was disallowed.

In that first half, the Wolves had the best opportunities and challenged Dibu, who made his best save against a header from Colombian Mosquera.

The Argentine barely touched it, the ball hit the crossbar, and Martínez put his hand up again to prevent the ball from going in.

In their worst moment, when the game wasn't going their way, the locals scored the 1-0 at 67' with a goal from another match: Kamara unleashed a rocket from outside the box and nailed it in the top corner, unstoppable for Johnstone.

In need of an equalizer, and to add their third point of the championship, Wolverhampton went all out, but once again faced the Argentine wall.

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

The final whistle blew and Aston Villa secured an important victory in the Premier. They climbed to the third position temporarily and are in the fight for European spots.
