“The second [goal] showed what he is all about,” said Grealish following the victory.
“He used his body well and it’s a brilliant finish.
“It is a pleasure to play with him and hopefully he can continue.”

The winger, who had 55 touches of the ball at the Etihad, believes that he is steadily working his way back to his best.
