Pep Guardiola gives Jack Grealish verdict following his Man City comeback vs Peterborough

Pep Guardiola praised Jack Grealish's aggression in the final third as the Manchester City forward returned from injury against Peterborough.

Grealish, 26, missed a fortnight of football with a niggling shin problem, similar to the one that sidelined him for a significant chunk of last season at Aston Villa. He returned to the matchday squad against Everton on Saturday before making his first start since the last round of the FA Cup at home to Fulham.

It was to prove a successful outing for player and team, with Grealish latching onto a wonderful pass from Phil Foden and slotting home for the second goal of the night in a 2-0 win and his first goal since a header in the 7-0 win over Leeds in mid-December. Speaking after the match, Guardiola was delighted with the moments of quality that separated the two teams on Tuesday evening.
