Concedes one against Wolves Martinez made two saves and conceded one goal during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Wolves.

Impact Martinez finally made his return to the starting XI after winning the World Cup with Argentina. And he didn't disappoint at all. The goalkeeper was beaten with just 12 minutes into the match, when Daniel Podence fired a very well-placed shot into the far post to open the scoring. But then Martinez made a pair of huge saves to help his side escape with at least one point. Up next for him is Jan. 13 home clash against Leeds.
