Pep Guardiola was delighted with Jack Grealish's desire to drive at Chelsea's defence in his "magnificent" performance in Manchester City's Carabao Cup win. Grealish was denied on three occasions by Edouard Mendy during the 2-0 win, but his quick feet and driving runs were a constant threat to the visitors.
The attacking midfielder is expected to be named in the England squad for the World Cup on Thursday and this was one of his best performances of the season, playing in a slightly narrower position off the left.
Grealish thrived in the City side without Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, taking on more responsibility, but Guardiola knows he can achieve that whoever he plays alongside, but was most pleased with his change of approach on Wednesday.
