EPL ACTION: Jack Grealish Scored for Manchester City After 16 Months

Jack Grealish scored his first Premier League goal in 16 months just 70 seconds into the game. On the 25th anniversary of his brother Keelan’s death, he dedicated this heartfelt objective to him.

In the 29th minute, Omar Marmoush doubled City’s lead by taking advantage of a mistake made by Mads Hermansen, Leicester’s goalie. Marmoush scored his fifth goal of the season with this. ​

With 51 points from 30 games, the win puts Manchester City in fourth place in the Premier League standings and strengthens their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. Leicester City, on the other hand, has 17 points and is still in 19th place, which increases their risk of relegation. ​

Leicester’s loss highlights their offensive difficulties this season as it brings their losing run to seven straight games without a goal. ​

Due to a touchline ban, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, watched the game from the stands. In addition, some City fans protested the club’s ticket pricing policies for a short while in the first few minutes. ​

Manchester City’s depth was also demonstrated in the game, as they prevailed in spite of star striker Erling Haaland’s absence due to an ankle injury. ​
