Jack Grealish was key as Everton sealed a 2-0 win against Brighton, on Sunday.
Jack Grealish is currently on loan at Everton, having struggled to impress Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. The England winger needed a fresh start this season, and it looks like it is working out for him in his new club. Grealish was key as Everton sealed a 2-0 win against Brighton, on Sunday.
Grealish also bagged two assists and looks set to have a resurgence this season. Speaking after the win, he said, “The main thing was to enjoy football and enjoy playing every day. I think maybe at times in the last couple of years, I've not fallen out of love, but didn't enjoy football as much as I should.”

“My family said it to me at times when I was at home. That's down to nobody but myself. I absolutely love football, and I want to have that feeling again when you get up on a match day and can't wait to get out there. That's how I felt today, and hopefully my performance showed that.”
Speaking on his time at Manchester City, he said, “It was great. I absolutely loved my time at Man City – I had a great four years there and won a lot of things, but this summer I felt like it was time for a change and, as I've said before, as soon as I spoke to the manager, David Moyes, on FaceTime, I knew this was the place I wanted to come.”
Meanwhile, head coach David Moyes said, “He was game for it; he didn’t try to shirk anything. He didn’t want off after 60 minutes – no chance. He wants to show he’s the real deal.”
“He probably has something to prove. I had something to prove over the years at different times. I think sometimes it gives you that challenge you have to be ready to take. Hopefully, Jack is.”
