AFCON 2025
Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush has been awarded the Premier League Goal of the Season for his spectacular 30-yard strike against Bournemouth, while Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez has clinched the Save of the Season for his extraordinary reflex save against Nottingham Forest.
Marmoush, who joined Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025, made an immediate impact with a series of stunning performances.
His award-winning goal came during a match against Bournemouth, where he unleashed a powerful shot from 30 yards out, leaving Kepa Arrizabalaga with no chance.
This goal was part of a season where Marmoush also secured back-to-back Nissan Goal of the Month awards for February and March, highlighting his knack for scoring remarkable goals
Emiliano Martínez’s Save of the Season came in a December 2024 fixture against Nottingham Forest.
In a moment that left fans and pundits alike in awe, Martínez managed to prevent a certain goal by reaching behind himself to claw out a close-range header from Nicolás Domínguez, just centimeters from crossing the line.
The save was lauded as one of the greatest in Premier League history, drawing comparisons to Gordon Banks’ legendary stop against Pelé.
Despite Aston Villa’s 2-1 loss in that match, Martínez’s heroics stood out, earning him the Premier League Save of the Month for December and now the Save of the Season accolade.
