Jack Grealish has revealed that he and Phil Foden watched a video of Lionel Messi's best passes before scoring a goal that the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner would have been proud of in the win over Peterborough on Tuesday.
Manchester City advanced past the spirited Championship side with a 2-0 victory but it wasn't until the 60th minute did they manage to break the deadlock. It was Riyad Mahrez who finally ended the home side's resolve as he curled a shot into the far bottom corner from a tight angle.
A few minutes later Pep Guardiola's side secured their spot in the quarter-finals with a moment of magic. Foden picked up the ball just inside the attacking half, spied the run of Grealish and played a magnificent ball over the top to him.
