Jack Grealish has paid tribute to a 'really strong' Newcastle United side after Man City resorted to running down the clock in the closing stages of the champions' 2-0 win.
Four minutes of stoppage time had just been added on when City were awarded a corner kick in the 90th minute. Rather than getting in the box, Erling Haaland opted to stand just to the side of Grealish after the reigning champions decided to go short despite Phil Foden going close to scoring a third just minutes earlier.
Grealish rolled the ball and Haaland simply waited for Joelinton to try and win it back. Haaland then shielded the ball and won another corner after Joelinton inadvertently kicked the ball out of play as he desperately tried to dispossess the City star.
