Emi Martinez is among the Aston Villa players who have praised Douglas Luiz on Instagram for his performance against Tottenham Hotspur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Villa and Argentina international goalkeeper was hugely impressed with Luiz.
So, how have Emi Martinez and Ezri Konsa reacted to Douglas Luiz’s performance for Aston Villa against Tottenham Hotspur? Let’s take a look.
What’s the story?
Well, Aston Villa won 2-1 against Tottenham Hotspur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs took the lead in North London, but Unai Emery’s side came back strongly and picked up all three points in the end.
Douglas Luiz started for Villa. The £15 million (Sky Sports) Brazil international midfielder provided the assist for Pau Torres’s goal in the first half. Roy Keane was impressed.
Luiz is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League and had yet another good game for Villa.

Against Tottenham, Luiz played two key passes, had a pass accuracy of 94.1%, won one header, took 66 touches, made one dribble, made three tackles and two interceptions, and put in four crosses.
Aston Villa will not sell Douglas Luiz in January
There is speculation that Arsenal want to sign Douglas Luiz in the January transfer window. According to The Mirror, the Gunners could make a bid for the Aston Villa midfielder.
But, I do not think that Villa will sell Luiz in the middle of the season. There is no way that manager Unai Emery will sell one of his best and most influential players leave in January, especially to his former club Arsenal.
Luiz has made 13 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The midfielder has scored five goals and given two assists in those games.
