Aston Villa midfielder scored in weekend win.
Garth Crooks has been raving about Jack Grealish following his latest performance for Aston Villa.
Grealish scored Villa’s first goal in their 2-1 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion.
The midfielder was unlucky not to make the recent England squad.
Crooks told BBC Sport that he believes this was a game which will turn Grealish’s fortunes around.
He said: “It took a special performance from Jack Grealish to turn this game from defeat to victory – England manager Gareth Southgate watched this match and must have been impressed.
“I said the last time I selected the Villa captain for my team of the week that he was knocking on the international door. Now he’s kicking it down.”
With a goal before the international break, Grealish has now scored in Villa’s last two games.
The 24-year-old is beginning to show he is a complete midfielder and is showcasing the ability he flashed last time he was in the Premier League.
Villa are up to 11th in the table after their win, a point ahead of Manchester United.
