Man City attacker Grealish: More to performance than goals and assists

Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish has defended his form this season.

Grealish insists he deserves to be rated on more than goals and assists.

He told the Athletic: "It's not just about scoring and making assists. I made an assist last week at the Bernabeu, but I've said before that everyone these days loves to talk about goals and assists.

"It's annoying, the way the game has become, because you can play a great game without scoring or making an assist, and then they say: 'He didn't do this or that'.

"And then you can score two easy goals at the back post and not play well at all, where everyone says: 'He's brilliant'."
