Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani criticises Aston Villa man

Leeds United majority owner and chairperson Andrea Radrizzani has criticised Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for his celebrations in the wake of Argentina's World Cup triumph. Martinez played a key part for Lionel Scaloni's side in Qatar, winning the golden glove after his penalty shootout heroics in both the quarter-finals and final.

During the shootout against France, Martinez was captured dancing after Aurelien Tchouameni put his spotkick wide, despite Argentina still needing to score another two to win. Then upon collecting his golden glove award in the post-match ceremony, Martinez was pictured posing with the trophy by his crotch.

But Martinez's antics did not stop there, though, as he was videoed in the changing room celebrations after the match asking for a minute's silence for Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe became just the second ever player to net a World Cup final hattrick on Sunday, but it was not enough to get France over the line.
