A Long-Awaited Return to the Scoresheet

Jack Grealish finally found the back of the net again in the Premier League. After going 15 months without a league goal, the Manchester City winger broke his dry spell by netting the third goal in a 5-1 win over Luton Town at the Etihad Stadium.

The goal carried extra emotional weight. Grealish looked to the sky and raised his hands in tribute to his cousin Hollie, who passed away recently. “That one was for her,” the forward said after the match, visibly moved by the moment.

Confidence Boost Ahead of Crucial Fixtures

This goal could mark a turning point for Grealish, who has faced criticism and reduced playing time in recent months. As Manchester City approaches the business end of the season, with crucial matches in both the league and the Champions League, a revitalized Grealish could become a key weapon for Pep Guardiola.

The Spanish coach praised his player after the match: “I’m happy for him. He’s been working really hard, and he deserved that moment.” The goal adds a layer of optimism to City’s push for titles across competitions.

Currently battling Arsenal and Liverpool for the top of the table, Manchester City will soon host Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. With Grealish regaining confidence, the squad gains much-needed depth and momentum heading into the season’s most demanding stretch.
