Jack Grealish makes gesture at Aston Villa fans after being booed on Villa Park return with Man City

Premier League

Manchester City

Everton

Newcastle

Aston Villa

<p>Ever since Grealish left Villa for City in a £100 million ($125m) move in 2021, the winger has been booed by his old side's fans. That was particularly on show in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-aston-villa-erling-haaland-ilkay-gundogan-pep-guardiola/blte33b278f2ee85d59" target="_blank">City's 2-1 loss at Villa</a> on Saturday but instead of just sitting there and taking it, the England international held up three fingers to signify the three Premier League titles he has won for the Cityzens.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jack Grealish reminds people about his three Premier League titles at City 3️⃣ <a href="https://t.co/mkE3AERamE">pic.twitter.com/mkE3AERamE</a></p>— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1870495803204382817?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 21, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Aside from Grealish being taunted by Villa fans, his City side are in a deep crisis. This result meant they have won just one of their last 12 games in all competitions and their hopes of retaining their Premier League title look to be over. Plus, some believe the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-aston-villa-return-pep-guardiola-tactics-leave-man-city/bltcf2511dba63a3f05" target="_blank">29-year-old should leave City</a> to further his career.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Grealish began his career at Villa and went on to make 213 appearances for his boyhood club, scoring 32 goals and bagging 41 assists in the process.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Grealish's City side will hope to return to winning ways on Thursday when they host lowly Everton at the Etihad in their next Premier League encounter.</p>
