After making a mistake during Aston Villa's 2-0 loss to Liverpool, Emi Martinez responded.

Mo Salah was served Liverpool's first goal on a plate by Villa's World Cup-winning number one goalie.

He made an effort to throw the ball to Pau Torres, but it was a careless pass that ended up in Salah's hands, who rolled it into the net.

Then, when Unai Emery's team fell at Anfield in the Premier League, Ryan Gravenberch extended Liverpool's lead.

In his news conference following the game, Emery talked about the event.

He said, "We need to take solid positioning and try to play with personality through our structure and roles."

"Pau lost the ball in that situation after gaining his position to play with this pass and then through those passes to feel wonderful." Naturally, to strengthen our organisation and avoid giving up the opportunities we did give up.

For Salah, it was simple. Although it was a major error, I was responsible for one aspect of our procedure. I accept that, and we use the style we wish to maintain in the club and in the upcoming games to develop a team here.

"We need to steer clear of major errors like the first goal we let up today. However, it is a component of our procedure, and we will examine it to see how we can improve in these situations for the upcoming games.

Naturally, though, it gives us a sense of strength and comfort. Our position and our idea are bringing the players up to speed.

"I never lose," Martinez wrote in a subsequent Instagram post. I either learn or I succeed.

TOTTENHAM TARGET LEON GORETZKA AS BAYERN MUNICH MIDFIELDER EYES A BOLD PREMIER LEAGUE MOVE

Tottenham are reportedly eyeing Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka as the 30-year-old midfielder looks to revive his career in London.

Leon Goretzka to Tottenham

Fichajes reports that Leon Goretzka might be a target for Tottenham, since his time with Bayern Munich could be ending. The North London team might want the 30-year-old to try out the Premier League and help them in the short to medium term.

Goretzka seems to have lost his edge, especially with the competition he faces at Bayern Munich. Even though there's no confirmed conflict between him and the club or coaches, he might leave when the season ends.

Like when he left Schalke for Bayern Munich, Goretzka might leave for free when his contract expires. He might want a change, as he's reportedly not happy with his playing time under Vincent Kompany.

Even though he's supposedly playing less, Goretzka has started in 11 of Bayern Munich's 14 league games this season, which doesn't really show a lack of minutes. But there's no word on a new contract, since the club sees Aleksandar Pavlovic and Joshua Kimmich as their main midfielders going forward.

So, some teams are thinking about signing the 30-year-old as a short-term to mid-term option, and Tottenham is one of them. Spurs want a new midfielder and have been connected to several players. RC Lens star Mamadou Sangare is a target, and there are others like Atletico Madrid’s Conor Gallagher and Sunderland’s Noah Sadiki.

Will Tottenham get Leon Goretzka?

Inter Milan’s Davide Frattesi is also a target, but signing Goretzka in January might be something to consider. Tottenham might not be the best place for him, but they seem to be the only ones interested right now.

Spurs could give Goretzka the chance to start his Premier League career, something he's never done before. Also, Tottenham has a good relationship with Bayern Munich because of recent deals for Mathys Tel, Harry Kane, and Joao Palhinha. This makes it easier for both teams to talk if a January move for Goretzka happens.

WEST HAM TRANSFER NEWS: WILL BETO REPLACE NICLAS FULLKRUG THIS JANUARY

West Ham eyes Everton’s Beto to replace Füllkrug. Can they beat Roma to the 27-year-old’s signature this January?

Will Everton sell Beto without a replacement lined up

TEAMtalk reports that West Ham United is eyeing Beto as a potential addition during the January transfer window. The Everton striker hasn't been performing well, and Everton might let him go if they can find someone to take his place. West Ham won't be alone in trying to get him, though, as AS Roma from Serie A is also interested.

Both Everton and West Ham United have struggled with their strikers finding the net this season. While both teams have experienced players, they haven't been very productive. West Ham is already considering changes.

West Ham might be moving Niclas Fullkrug out, with the German attacker possibly going to AC Milan. If that happens, West Ham will need a replacement, and names like Josh Sargent from Norwich City have been mentioned.

Other players like Endrick, Joshua Zirkzee, and Promise David have been linked before, but they aren't expected to join West Ham in January. Now, West Ham is looking at Beto. Everton might consider selling the struggling 27-year-old striker if they can bring in someone new.

This could benefit both clubs, but West Ham faces competition from Serie A. A return to Italy might appeal to Beto, as he hasn't had a great run in the Premier League since joining Everton.

Can West Ham sign Beto?

West Ham could have a shot at signing Beto if they can persuade him to stay in England. Right now, they seem to be in the lead. However, the Friedkin Group, which owns Everton, might have other ideas. They are thinking about a swap deal with their other club, AS Roma, where Beto would go to Roma and Artem Dovbyk would come to England.

AS Roma is interested and sees Beto as another option if they can't get their main target, Zirkzee. It's still up in the air whether the Friedkin Group can arrange a deal for Beto or if West Ham will win the race for the Everton striker.
