Grealish now has three assists in our last three Premier League games and revealed that he enjoys providing for his teammates.
“Especially when you put it on a plate for someone and all they have to do is tap it in, Like the Erling [Haaland] one against Leeds and tonight.
“They’re the best types, because you feel like you’ve done a lot of the work.
“I’m the exact same as Kev [De Bruyne]. Obviously, there’s no better feeling in football than scoring a goal.
“But honestly, assisting is just as good sometimes because you feel like you’ve done your job.”
The 27-year-old also spoke about his special connection with the City fans, and also looked ahead to this Sunday’s FA Cup third round clash with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
