FORTTINGHAM FOREST 1-1 CRYSTAL PALACE BY DOMINIC HOGAN AT THE CITY GROUND: The words 'This is a big one' can be heard anywhere you went before kick-off, and it is unlikely to be the last time until the end of the season.

On Monday, the best goalkeeper in the world and match-deciding howler on Sunday. Emi Martinez knows that elite sports bring the best back to Earth, and after Aston Villa's humiliating loss at Nottingham Forest, Emi Martinez admits that feeling isn't always right. After his heroic performances helped his country win last year's World Cup last year, the Argentina star collected the Yashin Trophy at the Ballon d'Or ceremony last week. Martinez's week in Qatar will be one of his best memories, but he'll need to forget his afternoon at the City Ground as soon as possible. Martinez sailed to his left to Orel Mangala's 25-yard effort early in the second half, but the ball did not have a good enough link, causing the ball to spin back off the bar and into the net, with Villa trailing 1-0. Martinez's mistake left Villa with too much to do despite Forest already leading off Ola Aina's fifth-minute strike. Forest won for the first time in the league this season after beating Chelsea on September 2.
