Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish came to blows with legendary Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa during Wednesday night's pre-season clash in Houston.

It was an eventful first-half, to say the least. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring at the NRG Stadium with a wonderful effort from range.

Henry Martin equalised for Club America in the 43rd minute but De Bruyne, who who helped City to their fourth Premier League title in five years last season after notching a career-high 15 goals and eight assists, netted again before half-time to give City a 2-1 lead.

And in between all of that goalmouth action, a frustrated Jack Grealish clashed with Club Amercia shot-stopper Ochoa after an attempt at good sportsmanship from the Mexican backfired.

In the 27th minute, Grealish bundled into Ochoa following a heavy touch. Moments later, the 37-year-old tried his best to help the England international to his feet, but things escalated. And fast.

Grealish was also involved in another clash in the second-half but this time, with Club America defender Bruno Valdez.

The Paraguayan centre-back wiped out the former Aston Villa midfielder with a heavy challenge and understandably, Grealish wasn't best pleased.

Away from the 'handbags' and City held onto that 2-1 lead to seal a first pre-season win on their US tour.

Pep Guardiola was happy with the victory on Wednesday night and after the full-time whistle, he said the amount of City supporters inside the NRG Stadium was a sign of their growth in recent seasons.

"It's an honour," he said. "We are so proud. When we arrived here five, six years ago and lost to United there were only a few blue shirts and now there are a lot.

"We were happy to see them and the game was really good."

Thoughts on the Grealish incident involving Ochoa?
