Miguel Almiron's cheeky Jack Grealish jibe as Eddie Howe praises 'magnificent' Newcastle United star

Miguel Almiron appeared to give a cheeky nod to his disagreement with Jack Grealish after Newcastle United's 3-3 draw with Manchester City on Sunday. The Paraguayan left the pitch to a standing ovation in the closing stages before returning to the pitch after the full-time whistle.

As Almiron and his team-mates walked around the St. James' Park turf after the game, a young fan asked for his shirt with a sign that read: "Miggy, can Grealish have your shirt?" Almiron duly obliged by taking his top off and handing it to the young Magpies supporter.

Grealish caused offence during Manchester City's title parade earlier this year by saying Riyad Mahrez should have been substituted for 'playing like Almiron'. The comment caused outrage among Newcastle supporters who weren't keen on the unprovoked jibe.
