Jack Grealish applauded for unlikely Man City heroics before setting up equaliser against Liverpool MCFC
Manchester City star Jack Grealish was hailed for an incredible recovery run which ‘changed the game’ in the 4-1 victory over Liverpool.
Grealish was the hero for City with a goal and an assist on Saturday – but it was his defensive work which caught the eye when Liverpool were briefly in front.He ended up being man-of-the-match Mohamed Salah had scored against the run of play to put Arsenal fans into a frenzy before the Egypt international was put through on goal minutes later.
With City’s defence all at sea, it was Grealish of all players to come racing across from his position on the left-wing to become an auxiliary right-back.The forward tackled Salah with gusto to elevate the Etihad mood and former City coach Stuart Pearce was full of praise live on talkSPORT.“He’s run the length of the pitch and got a toe on a cross-field ball which would’ve been a tap-in. It’s brilliant defending.
But the former Aston Villa star was not done yet as just moments later, he was racing away down the left-wing leading the counter-attack.
