Aston Villa's Jack Grealish celebrates scoring their first goal

Aston Villa attacker Jack Grealish has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to his side’s defeat on Saturday afternoon.

Villa failed to return to winning ways in the Championship, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Bristol City away from home at the Ashton Gate Stadium.

Grealish, who can play as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, opened the scoring for the Villans in the fifth minute when he hooked in Leandro Bacuna’s cross at the back post.

City launched a comeback in the second half, and found the net through Tammy Abraham, Joe Bryan and Lee Tomlin.

The performance of Roberto Di Matteo’s side in the second period was disappointing, and Grealish has admitted his frustration.

The 20-year-old England Under-21 international attacker has praised the club’s fans on Twitter.

Villa owner Dr. Tony Xia has also taken to Twitter to have his say on the team’s performance and the final result.
