Manchester City enjoyed a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon and Jack Grealish was one of many players who impressed.
The 27-year-old was fortunate to start after a poor performance in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, but he vindicated himself against the Old Gold.
Grealish finally got off the mark for the season with a goal, and he created numerous chances for his teammates while frequently looking to take on his opponent when in possession, so he can be delighted with his efforts.

Tyrone Marshall of the Manchester Evening News gave a player rating of 8/10 and said his skill on trickery was on display all afternoon. Jude Summerfield of 90min gave a player rating of 8/10 and praised his dribbling at Molineux. Ian Whittell of the Daily Mail gave a player rating of 9/10 and said he enjoyed himself after silencing his critics.
Against Wolves, Grealish played for 76 minutes, had 53 touches, won one aerial duel, completed 93.9% of his 33 passes, created two chances, had two shots with one goal scored, made four successful dribbles, made two tackles, was fouled three times and had one interception.
It was a long-awaited good performance from Grealish and he’s likely now cemented his place in the side for another week.
