Wilfried Zaha absolutely rattled Emiliano Martinez by staring him down after scoring rebound from penalty miss

Wilfried Zaha had Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez fuming following his goal in his side's 3-1 defeat.

Crystal Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha absolutely rattled Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez after scoring the rebound from his penalty miss at Selhurst Park.

Zaha bagged a brace and Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the other as Palace came from a goal down to pick up their first win of the season.

Ollie Watkins had put Villa ahead early on, only for Zaha to reply instantly with his second strike of the season.

The Ivory Coast international then had the chance to make it 2-1 in the 58th minute when Lucas Digne was penalised for handball and a penalty was awarded.

Martinez, who is known for going to extreme lengths in a bid to put off the taker, guessed right and made a save with his left-hand.

However, he parried it back into the path of Zaha, who smashed home at the second attempt. He then stared out Martinez, before laughing and cupping his ears as he celebrated with teammates.


Martinez was furious and tried to go over to Zaha, though Tyrone Mings intervened and stopped that from happening.

Mateta sealed the win in the second half by stabbing home from Tyrick Mitchell's pinpoint cross from the left.

Last season, when Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes skied a 92nd minute penalty over the bar against Martinez at Old Trafford, the former Arsenal man celebrated by performing a humping dance in front of the Stretford End.

He had earlier called for Cristiano Ronaldo to take the spot-kick. There was none of this time around though as Martinez received a taste of his own medicine.
