Premier League – Aston Villa : Passeur décisif contre Burnley Emiliano Martinez rejoint un cercle très fermé
Auteur d’une passe décisive sur le deuxième but d’Aston Villa face à Burnley, ce dimanche à l’occasion de la 36e journée du championnat anglais, Emiliano Martinez est désormais le premier gardien des Villans à délivrer une passe décisive en Premier League depuis Brad Guzan contre Manchester City en septembre 2013. Le champion du monde argentin entre dans un cercle très fermé de gardiens passeurs cette saison. Un geste rare, 11 ans après Guzan Auteur d’une passe décisive sur le deuxième but d’Aston Villa face à Burnley, Emiliano Martinez a marqué l’histoire du club. Il faut remonter à septembre 2013 pour retrouver trace d’un tel geste chez les Villans. À l’époque, Brad Guzan avait offert un but contre Manchester City. Depuis, plus rien. Onze ans d’attente pour voir un gardien d’Aston Villa faire briller un coéquipier à l’autre bout du terrain. Dibu l’a fait, avec son jeu au pied si particulier. Dans le club des gardiens passeurs de 2025-2026 Avec cette passe décisive, il rejoint au palmarès Robert Sanchez de Chelsea et Alphonse Arbeloa de West Ham, qui ont délivré chacun une passe décisive en championnat cette saison. Un cercle fermé, car voir un gardien être décisif offensivement reste rarissime en Premier League. Martinez s’invite à la table des portiers qui savent aussi créer le danger. Preuve que son influence dépasse largement sa surface de réparation. Le jeu au pied de Martinez, une arme pour Emery Ce n’est pas un hasard si Unai Emery voulait Martinez. Le champion du monde n’est pas seulement un stoppeur de penalty et un leader vocal. Son jeu long, précis, casse les lignes et lance les transitions. Face à Burnley, sa relance a fait mouche pour le break. A l’heure où les gardiens sont des premiers relanceurs, Martinez montre qu’il peut aussi être un vrai créateur. Aston Villa tient un gardien complet, et ce record le rappelle.

Chiefs cement third place with late win over Sekhukhune
Substitutes Tashreeq Morris and Mfundo Vilakazi came off the bench to score the winning goals for Kaizer Chiefs as they beat Sekhukhune United 2-0 at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday.
The win guaranteed Amakhosi’s third place finish this season as the team behind them in fourth place, which is AmaZulu, cannot catch them with two games before the end of the season. Amakhosi have 51 points and Usuthu have 44.

Chiefs made three changes from the team that held Mamelodi Sundowns to a 1-1 draw midweek, with Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Gaston Sirino and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo all starting the game.
Amakhosi started the game as the brighter side and created scoring opportunities through the likes of Flavio Silva and Pule Mmodi, who troubled the Babina Noko defence.
The hosts applied a low block and they looked to catch Chiefs on the counter attack and as a result they created few chances in the first half of the match.
Chiefs were awarded a free kick in a good scoring position in the 20th minute following a foul on Mmodi, but Glody Lilepo wasted it by ballooning his shot.
Three minutes later, Mmodi also wasted another great chance to put Chiefs in the lead after he was set up by Gaston Sirino, but his shot went wide of goal.
Sirino brought out the best of Sekhukhune goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata in the 38th minute from long range.
While chances were few for Sekhukhune throughout the first half, both Siphesihle Mkhize and Bright Ndlovu showcased their attacking intent with long-distance shots.
The sides were locked at 0-0 at the break.
Chiefs made two changes at the start of the second half with Reeve Frosler coming on for the injured Thabiso Monyane and Thabo Cele replacing Mthethwa. Sekhukhune, on the other side, kept the same team that started the match.
Chiefs continued to dominate ball possession in the second half, but it was Ndlovu who had the first shot at goal in anger in the 49th minute, but his shot went narrowly wide of goal.
Sirino wasted another glorious chance for Chiefs in the 52nd minute when he found himself unmarked inside the box, but his miscued tame shot was saved by Nsabata.
Four minutes later, Nsabata did well to come out of his area to close the angle on Silva who was sent through on goal by Lilepo.

Morris, who was making his first appearance for Chiefs this season, finally broke the deadlock in the 86th minute, tapping home Lilepo’s cross.
Chiefs were awarded a penalty on the stroke of full-time for Vuyo Letlapa’s reckless foul on Lilepoinside the box and Vilakazi converted it to make sure that Chiefs take all the points on offer.
Red Arrows stun Zambian club champions Power Dynamos to capture Absa Cup
Power Dynamos may have clinched the Zambia Super League title with three rounds remaining but were denied a domestic double on Sunday after Red Arrows emerged victorious with a 2-0 victory in Sunday’s Absa Cup final played in Ndola.
Goals on both sides of halftime from Albert Kangwanda and Lazarous Chishimba secured a cup title for the Lusaka club as well as qualification for the 2026-27 CAF Confederation Cup.
Arrows, currently in second place in the Zambia Super League and fighting for a place in next season’s CAF Champions League, have proven to be the only club to foil Dynamos this season and showed the winning formula once again. Sunday’s defeat marks the first defeat of 2026 for Dynamos, who dominated the league during the second half of the campaign to move out of reach.
Red Arrows pounce on defensive errors
But defensive mistakes plagued them on the big stage at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium. An apparently innocuous cross from the left wing following a Red Arrows throw-in was poorly dealt with by Dynamos left back John Soko, who could only nod the ball back towards the center of his penalty area.
An initial resulting shot was well saved by keeper Lawrence Mulenga but former Al-Hilal Omdurman forward Kangwanda was in the right place to smash home the rebound.
It was a devastating blow just before halftime, but a just reward for an Arrows team that embraced the spotlight and looked to attack. Dynamos failed to recover over the halftime break and once again the defense was responsible for another lapse in concentration in the 54th minute.
Another throw-in came down the right wing this time and Dynamos defender Dominic Chanda swung and missed on his clearance attempt, allowing Chishimba plenty of room to move in on goal. Despite a tight angle, Chishimba blasted a high effort that overwhelmed Mulenga in goal for the second.

Even if they conceded the title race to a dominant Dynamos side that has only lost once in 2026, to Pyramids FC in the CAF Champions League, Arrows will be delighted to secure qualification to CAF interclub competition after a difficult 2024-25 season. Now they will focus on attempting to secure second place following their third cup triumph since the current format was adopted in 2007.
