Jack Grealish says there were 'eight minutes of silence' at half-time during Manchester City's comeback win over Tottenham, before Pep Guardiola masterminded their four-goal second-half performance.
After two late first-half goals sent City into half-time at 2-0 down, Grealish admits the dressing room was very quiet for a few minutes, but a pep-talk from Guardiola sent them out fired up. And the City playmaker, who admitted he had doubts he may be substituted at the break, also praised his manager for continuing to change things up during the second half, including a secret instruction involving Ilkay Gundogan.
Describing recent criticism of City's form as an overreaction, Grealish added that the Spurs win can be a catalyst for an upturn in form after the back-to-back defeats against Southampton and Manchester United.
