  WHAT HAPPENED?

  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 City's 2-1 loss at Villa 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.

  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 29-year-old should leave City to further his career.
