Jack Grealish rejoices after City win despite tense scrap with Thomas Partey at Etihad Stadium

Jack Grealish was once again sublime for Manchester City this Wednesday (27 April).

The winger played 87 minutes in the side’s 4-1 thrashing of the current league leaders, providing key contributions in City’s attacking and defensive play.

Tensions were high throughout the match as multiple scraps broke out.

The first occurred at the end of the first half, where fans saw Arsenal right-back Ben White and City centre-back Ruben Dias come together. Several players from both sides then stepped in, which ultimately resulted in a yellow card for the Portuguese defender.

In the second half, Jack Grealish and Thomas Partey both received yellow cards for an off-camera altercation 75 minutes in. The scrap came just two minutes after Partey’s boot hit Grealish’s teammate and fellow England international in the head.

Both Grealish and Partey grabbed each other’s shirts as they exchanged some harsh words.

The atmosphere remained at boiling point between the two teams for the full game, which eventually ended in a 4-1 victory for Grealish’s side.

Kevin De Bruyne provided two excellent goals, as well as setting up a header for England international John Stones. A late goal from the Norwegian prodigy, Erling Haaland, was the icing on the cake for City.

Grealish, 27, has since shared a selection of photos of Manchester City’s dressing room celebrations after the game on Instagram.

The post received over a million likes with many commenters joining the team to celebrate their potential title-clinching win.

The Solihull-born star captioned the post: “Nights like these at Etihad don’t get much better! A long way still to go!! Cmon the boyssss!!! CITEHHHHHH 💙💙💙”.

He shared a BeReal post, with a funny shirtless selfie of himself and Erling Haaland, and teammates Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias on the other side of the phone, both visibly ecstatic with the team’s performance.

Lionesses legend and fellow Manchester City player Chloe Kelly commented: “🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻”.

A dejected, yet honest Arsenal supporter commended Jack’s performance, saying: “Battered us all over the park. Fair play. Don’t think you even got out of 3rd gear.”
