Jack Grealish left red-faced as Miguel Almiron aims subtle dig after Man City jibes

Newcastle midfielder Miguel Almiron made Jack Grealish eat his words with a goal against the England star's Manchester City side.

Grealish aimed a surprising dig at the Paraguay international during City's title celebrations at the end of last season. He joked that Riyad Mahrez was withdrawn in the final-day victory over Aston Villa because he was playing like the Newcastle man.

The comments from the City record signing attracted a fair amount of criticism, with Simon Jordan among those to call out Grealish. However, it was Almiron himself who delivered the perfect response, turning in an Allan Saint-Maximin cross to bring Newcastle level against the champions at St James' Park.
