Martinez celebrated in front of Kepa

As MEN reports, Martinez was seen screaming in front of Kepa before rushing towards the corner flag to celebrate with his teammates.

Martinez put on another decent display as he was able to subdue Chelsea's attacking threat for the entire game. He has since justified his signing from Ajax after questions had been raised about his stature during his first few weeks in the Premier League.

The Argentinian has now established a strong partnership with Raphael Varane at the centre of Erik ten Hag's defence.

Chelsea fans claim Casemiro's goal should not have stood
