Roberto Martinez explains major change Jack Grealish has had to make at Man City

Roberto Martinez believes Jack Grealish is continuing to adapt to Manchester City's exacting style following the winger's goal against Arsenal on Wednesday.

Grealish netted City's second goal in a crucial 3-1 win at the Emirates, handing his side the lead for the second time that evening. Kevin De Bruyne had opened the scoring with a wonderful lobbed finish before Bukayo Saka's penalty levelled the score at the break.

Pep Guardiola's side showed their killer instinct in the second-half, Grealish slotting home to finish off a swift counter-attack after Arsenal were dispossessed in midfield, before Erling Haaland all but ended the contest 10 minuted later. Analysing the goal after the game, the City winger was praised for holding his position out wide when the ball was being worked forward in the build-up, and Martinez believes it is emblematic of a player mastering his manager's demands on the pitch.
