Aston Villa boss Unai Emery to speak to Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez about World Cup celebrations

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery will speak to Emiliano Martinez about the Argentina goalkeeper’s controversial World Cup celebrations when he returns to club duty with the Premier League side.
Martinez made a key save to deny Randal Kolo Muani in extra-time and then denied Kingsley Coman in a penalty shoot-out in Qatar as Argentina beat France in a thrilling final.
But he was seen making a crude gesture after winning the golden glove trophy for the best goalkeeper at the tournament.
Then, during Argentina’s victory parade in Buenos Aires, he was seen holding a baby doll with its face covered by a photograph of France star striker Kylian Mbappe.
In the final, Mbappe scored a hat-trick as France twice fought back to take the game to a penalty shoot-out and then beat Martinez with the opening spot-kick.
