Some Leeds United fans have put their rivalry with Aston Villa to one side to praise Jack Grealish.
The Villa midfielder made his full debut for England last night as Gareth Southgate’s side beat Wales 3-0 at Wembley.
There was more Leeds interest as Kalvin Phillips started in midfield once again.
But some fans of the Elland Road club were left raving about the display that Grealish produced on his first senior start for the Three Lions.
The 25-year-old, who has previously claimed that Leeds fans dislike him, bagged a brilliant assist and got through his share of defensive work on a night where his confidence and hunger made him arguably the hosts’ stand-out player.
Here’s how Whites fans reacted to his heroics:
There’s been a bit of bad blood between Leeds and Aston Villa in recent years, stemming from a controversial and ill-tempered clash at Elland Road toward the end of the 2018-19 campaign.
But the United fans are right in saying that it really was an excellent showing from Grealish and, going by that display, he’s here to stay as far as being an England player goes.
