Manchester City’s winger Jack Grealish has spoken out following the team’s thrilling 3-1 victory over Arsenal in the Premier League.
The victory has put City on top of the table and Grealish played a crucial role in securing the win with a goal that he described as “so important.”
In a post-match interview, Grealish said, “It was massive, for me it was a great night. That’s what I’ve wanted to do. I wanted to come and affect these big games. To score tonight was so important, honestly, I was absolutely buzzing for myself and the team.”
Grealish went on to describe the goal, which came from a pass by Ilkay Gundoğan. “I know Gundo and I knew he was going to pass it, he’s so unselfish, him and Kev. I’m trying to go back across, as it was coming, it felt like ten seconds, I was going to try and reverse it, but I know Ramsdale from our time at England. I was due one of them, a deflection to help it go in. It feels so long. The longer you go without a goal, the more you do.”
