Jack Grealish produced yet another brilliantly honest post-match interview after Manchester City’s crucial win against Arsenal.
On Wednesday night, City travelled to the Emirates stadium knowing that a win will take them above leaders Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola’s side started well but the Gunners had the best chance early doors as Eddie Nketiah headed a huge chance wide in the 22nd minute.

Just two minutes later, Nketiah’s miss was brutally punished by Kevin de Bruyne, who scored a beauty after a poor back pass from Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Bukayo Saka then levelled from the spot after Ederson fouled Nketiah inside the penalty area.
In the second half, City moved up the gears as individual errors crept in again from Mikel Arteta’s men. Goals from Grealish and Erling Haaland sealed a vital 3-1 victory.
After the match, goalscorer Grealish was interviewed by Amazon Prime Video and he was as brilliant as ever.

During the interview, the England international admitted that he felt Arsenal were the better side and produced a hilarious reaction when he was told his team only had 36% possession, which is the lowest since Guardiola joined the club.
Grealish said: “If I’m being honest I don’t think we actually played that well. I think Arsenal played a lot better than us, they were the better team.
“I thought they had a few chances and stuff, listen, if you win titles you’ve got to come to grounds like this and even when you’re not at your best you’ve got to win games.”
When told about the ball possession stat, Grealish said in disbelief: “36! I don’t really want to say much about that!”
Since arriving from Aston Villa for a British record fee of £100 million, Grealish struggled to fit into Guardiola’s style of play and often found himself on the bench during his first season.

However, in recent weeks, he has started to look like the player that impressed many during his time at Villa Park and is starting to impose himself as a regular at the club.
On the back of the victory, City now sit top of the Premier League table on goal difference but Arsenal have one game in hand.
Who will win the title? Only time will tell.
