Martinez was accused of shithouse celebrations
Emiliano Martinez went viral for his wild celebrations during a post-match interview after Argentina's game against Colombia on Tuesday night.
Lautaro Martinez's goal was enough to give Argentina the win - leaving Colombia in real danger of missing out on qualification for the 2022 World Cup.
Argentina, who have already qualified, relied on goalkeeper Martinez to win them the game and prevent Colombia from scoring in a seventh straight qualifier.
The result leaves the Colombians seventh in the table and four points off a play-off spot with only two games left to play. In the South American World Cup qualifiers, only four of the 10 clubs will automatically qualify, while a fifth will contend the play-offs.
After the game, the Aston Villa 'keeper was keen to celebrate and in the background of Colombia goalkeeper, Camilo Vargas' interview could be seen running around the pitch with the Copa America trophy.
