martinos roma early blight?

This year I am growing a roma variety called martino's roma. I picked this variety because the roma I grew last year was destroyed by early blight and I read this variety was resistant to early blight.

But from very early days my plants were showing lots of yellow areas with brown spots - which unless I am mistaken is the sign of early blight! At any rate the leaves look just like those on the roma I grew last year. Problem is getting worse with time with more and more leaves affected, though I try to pull affected leaves when I see them.

Any thoughts on why a variety supposedly resistant to this, succumbed to it anyway? Is there any effective way to stop early blight from spreading to new leaves once it has started?
