The 23-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes.

According to WhoScored, the youngster had a pass accuracy of 93.8%, made four tackles and two blocks, and played two key passes.

Arsenal legend Wright believes that Grealish played well against Spurs, but the former England international has observed that the attacker got tired in the second half.

Wright said about Grealish on Match of the Day on BBC: “Jack Grealish as well, I thought, he had a good game, tired maybe in the second half, made a little mistake for one of the goals.”
