Emiliano
Dibu Martínez
's
Aston Villa
showed their offensive repertoire this Saturday to leave Bramall Lane with a 5-0 win against the bottom of the table,
Sheffield United
, which puts them back in the Premier League fight after their last two dates without wins.
Unai Emery
's team
had just drawn with Everton and lost to Newcastle, which is why they fell in the table.
Even so, he is still involved in the fight for the
Champions League
places .
In fact, the victory against Chris Wilder's team returns them to fourth place from which Tottenham falls.
This time, Dibu had little work to do and responded well every time he was called into action.
In one of his interventions he showed his reflexes to save his fence on two consecutive occasions, rejecting
two shots in his six-yard box
.
For the Argentine,
keeping a clean sheet
is a mandate: he has 10 in 22 Premier League games this season.
SHOCKING DOUBLE SAVE FROM DIBU MARTÍNEZ.

It also had a wink from the VAR, when in the last minutes the technology detected a millimeter offside when Sheffield was celebrating an injury time goal that was the honor.
With these three points, the 'villains' are at the level of
Arsenal
, third, and
Manchester City
, second.
Equal on points.
Although the London team has one less game and
Pep Guardiola
's has two to play.
The leader is
Liverpool
, with five more than them.
Aston Villa's effectiveness was
spectacular
.
Within half an hour they were already winning 0-4, and the Bramall Lane crowd began to leave the stadium.
After twelve minutes,
John McGinn
opened the scoring and four minutes later,
Ollie Watkins
put a wonderful cross from Douglas Luiz into the net.
The score was 0-3 in the 20th minute, signed by the Jamaican
Leon Bailey
after receiving a ball from Watkins and the fourth came after half an hour, on a great shot, a volley from the Belgian
Yuri Tielemans
.
In the second half the pace dropped.
Although it started in the same way, with the fifth goal, scored by the Spanish Alex Moreno who successfully completed a pass from Watkins.
