Emi Martinez pulls off howler to gift Liverpool early lead vs Villa – in pictures

Emi Martinez has gifted Liverpool a lead against Aston Villa within the first two minutes of the game.

The World Cup winner had a moment to forget as he spilt the ball over the line early on.

Elliott made a marauding run forward into the box.

The ball deflected off the chest of a Villa defender and floated towards Martinez.

Martinez makes a complete mess of it and the ball rolls into the net after spilling from his grasp.
