Jack Grealish makes goal admission after England assist in Ivory Coast win

Jack Grealish has said that the only person he needs to impress is Man City manager Pep Guardiola after assisting team-mate Raheem Sterling for England in their 3-0 win over Ivory Coast.

Grealish started for Gareth Southgate's side and played 62 minutes before being taken off after a job well done. Grealish set up Sterling for England's second of the night, the former Aston Villa man's pass to Sterling was finished calmly into the back of the net. It was a reminder of Grealish's talents after a somewhat quiet season by his standards.

Following the £100million summer move to the Etihad Stadium, Grealish has had to adapt to a new role and has seen his goal contributions fall. Despite only two goals and two assists so far this season in the Premier League, the 26-year-old has said that he's spoken to Guardiola and that hopefully he can find the scoresheet over the next few weeks as City compete for the Premier League title, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup.
