Jack Grealish exhibited a classy gesture with a couple of Arsenal fans following Manchester City’s disappointing defeat.
Manchester City suffered their second Premier League loss of the season at the Emirates last Sunday, with Gabriel Martinelli’s goal securing Arsenal’s first league victory over Man City since 2015.
After the final whistle, a confrontation unfolded when Kyle Walker clashed with Arsenal’s set-piece coach Nicolas Jover. The FA has now made its final decision regarding Walker’s actions in the tunnel bust-up.
In addition to the dispute between Walker and Jover, fans also observed Ben White playfully teasing Grealish during the incident. However, Grealish has earned praise for his conduct following the tunnel incident, as he took the time to engage with some supporters.

Fans were audibly chanting Grealish’s name, with one expressing gratitude for his jersey as he made his way back to the dressing room.
Although Grealish did not make an appearance in the Arsenal match and was an unused substitute, he has participated in eight games across all competitions this season, with only four of those in the league. In the previous season, the 28-year-old featured in 50 games across all competitions, contributing to his team’s treble victory.
As the league campaign resumes after the international break, Grealish will be hoping for some playing time when his side faces Brighton.
