Gary Lineker has praised Aston Villa star Jack Grealish on Twitter for his performance against Arsenal this evening.
Villa have got the better of Arsenal 3-0 away from home at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League.
An own goal from Bukayo Saka saw Dean Smith’s side take the lead in the 25th minute. Ollie Watkins made it 2-0 on 72 minutes and scored his second just three minutes later.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and England international striker Lineker was following the match, and he was impressed with Grealish, and so was ex-Liverpool striker Michael Owen.
Meanwhile, ex-Villa striker Stan Collymore has suggested Grealish and Ross Barkley playing together in attacking midfield for England.
