The Aston Villa goalkeeper made three saves to send the Albiceleste through to face Brazil

Emiliano Martinez has been labelled a "phenomenon" by Argentina team-mate Lionel Messi for his three shoot-out saves to clinch their Copa America semi-final win over Colombia on Tuesday.


The 28-year-old earned his first international cap last month following a standout club season at Aston Villa, and has now made himself a hero for the Albiceleste.

Colombia had forced the shootout with a 61st-minute goal from Luis Diaz that cancelled out an early Messi-assisted strike by Lautaro Martinez, but Argentina's goalkeeper ensured a place in the final against Brazil on Saturday.
