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 thanks to a great performance by Dibu Martínez.

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

They achieved their fifth consecutive victory, although it was by no means easy: they struggled against the bottom team in the table and had to rely on Dibu Martínez to withstand the visitors’ attacks.

Wolverhampton showed an improved version, now without Vitor Pereira, but it wasn’t enough to win away from home.

In fact, the visitors managed to break the deadlock in the first quarter of an hour, but luck wasn’t on their side: Strand Larsen scored after a cutback, but Jhon Arias was offside and interfering with Dibu, so 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 on it, the ball hit the crossbar, and Martínez managed to get his hand to it again to prevent it from going in.

At their worst moment, when their play wasn’t coming together, the hosts 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.

In the 90+5th minute, 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, at least for now, and remain in the race for European spots.
