Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling and Gary Lineker hail Jack Grealish, who scored for Aston Villa against Birmingham City in the Second City derby.
Manchester City star Raheem Sterling has taken to Twitter to send a message to Aston Villa star Jack Grealish.
During the Second City derby between Birmingham City and Villa at St. Andrew’s Stadium, Grealish was attacked by a fan of the home team.
The 23-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, did not get fazed by it, and scored the winner midway through the second half.
City star Sterling, who earns £170,000 per week as salary – according to The Guardian – and can play as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, has praised Grealish on Twitter for scoring the winner, and so has Tottenham Hotspur legend Gary Lineker.

Against Birmingham on Sunday afternoon, the 23-year-old scored one goal, took two shots, had a pass accuracy of 83.3%, made two tackles, and played three key passes, according to WhoScored.
