Arguably it is Nuno Espírito Santo’s side who have started the hotly contested affair better and will consider themselves unlucky not to already be 1-0 up.
Just shy of the 15-minute mark, attacker Pedro Neto broke free and placed a nicely timed ball into the box which forced Villa keeper Martinez to come scrambling off his line.
The former Arsenal back-up keeper made a great last ditch save against Daniel Podence, but did take a nasty whack to the back of the head for his trouble.
