Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan found the net after the interval before Grealish struck a fourth goal with 15 minutes left to play.
The Englishman was ecstatic with the overall team display. He said:
“It was a brilliant day. Obviously playing against Liverpool, they’re a very good team with very good players. I thought the way we performed was brilliant.
“I know what I’m capable of. Since I’ve been here there has been times when it has been difficult.
“But I know full well what I’m capable of once I’m playing with confidence and when I feel fit and strong, like I did today. I’ve played a lot of games recently which is what you want as a footballer. I feel good, man.
“It’s always nice to score and assist as a winger. But the main thing for me was the way we performed as a team and the victory we got today. I think it was so important.
“I feel good at the moment, I feel like the manager really believes in me. I feel good in myself. Hopefully it can continue.”
The winger also spoke about the importance of rhythm after the international break, touched on the standing ovation he got at the Etihad Stadium and revealed what Pep Guardiola said to him after his display.
