Jack Grealish fires unsubtle message at Aston Villa fans after unwanted milestone
Jack Grealish burned some bridges with Aston Villa after taunting the club’s fans following their victory over Manchester City. The 29-year-old put three fingers up to the home crowd to signify the amount of Premier League titles he’s won since swapping Villa Park for the Etihad in 2021. City star Grealish taunted the Villa fans following his side’s 2-1 defeatGetty Grealish played the entirety of Saturday’s match in the Midlands which saw Villa emerge as 2-1 winners over the reigning champions. Villa‘s victory has seen Unai Emery’s men leapfrog above Pep Guardiola’s side into fifth spot. The Citizens have now lost nine out of their last 12 matches in all competitions – more defeats than they have managed in the previous 106 games combined [eight]. And it was another performance to forget for ex-Villa skipper Grealish on his return to his former stomping ground. The England international has now gone over 365 days without a goal for City – a run spanning 45 fixtures. Villa fans were quick to let Grealish know what they thought of his form as they mocked him during the early afternoon encounter. During his Villa days, Grealish was often serenaded with chants of ‘Super Jack’ from the stands. But those lyrics were changed to ‘You’re not super anymore’. And it proved to be all too much for Grealish following the full-time whistle as he held up three fingers to highlight he was correct in his decision to join City for £100million. However his gesture didn’t go down well with social media, as one X user said: “Sooooo shamelesssss. He hasn’t scored in years.” GettyGrealish has flattered to deceive in 2024, where he is without a goal in all competitions for City[/caption] The England international boasts just one goal involvement from 13 Premier League matches this term Another quipped: “Is that how many touches he has all game?” A third added: “Wow Grealish doing that to the fans who once adored him!
