Grealish reaches new heights
It seems a distant, strange memory now but even towards the end of last year there were still questions hanging above Jack Grealish's head as he continued to struggle to reach the heights expected of him at Manchester City. Those days are long forgotten now, though, as the forward has now firmly established himself as an undroppable presence in Pep Guardiola's side.
His goal against Southampton was the first time he has scored in back-to-back games for City and while the stat itself is pretty meaningless it does show the consistently high level he is now playing at. Grealish was excellent on the south coast, beguiling in possession and such a driving force up the pitch. A tidy assist for Erling Haaland's stunning overhead kick put the cherry on top.
