Jack Grealish has detailed the chat with Pep Guardiola in which the Manchester City boss insisted he deserved the goal and assist against Liverpool for his hard work throughout the season.
City produced a commanding performance to beat Jurgen Klopp's side 4-1 at the Etihad on Saturday, with Grealish starring on the left. The 27-year-old laid on Julian Alvarez with a perfectly weighted ball to cancel out Mohamed Salah's first-half opener, before a second-half blitz saw Liverpool blown away.
Kevin De Bruyne handed City the lead swiftly after the break, with Ilkay Gundogan adding a third before Grealish's cultured finish made it four - just rewards for a fine performance on the left. The former Aston Villa man came off to a raucous applause from the Etihad crowd and a warm embrace from his boss.
