Micky Quinn took a cheeky dig at Aston Villa attacking midfielder Jack Grealish on Twitter while watching him in action against Newcastle United.

The former Newcastle forward joked that Steve Bruce’s side were so poor that Grealish, who can also operate as a winger, stayed on his feet.

The 25-year-old England international midfielder has gained a reputation of going down too easily.

Villa won the Premier League game against Newcastle at Villa Park 2-0 to enhance their chances of finishing in the European chances.

Jack Grealish is a big player for Aston Villa

Grealish is one of the best attacking players in the Premier League and is a key figure at Villa.

Against Newcastle on Saturday evening, the Englishman was superb again. Grealish was involved in the opening goal and provided the assist for the second.

According to WhoScored, the 25-year-old took five shots and two were on target, played six key passes, had a pass accuracy of 86.6%, took 95 touches, attempted one dribble, made one tackle, and put in eight crosses.

So far this season, Grealish has scored five goals and provided eight assists in 17 Premier League games for the Villans, according to WhoScored.
