MANCHESTER, England -- There was a buzz of excitement on Saturday when the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium realised it was Jack Grealish who had picked up the ball to take their 49th-minute penalty in the FA Cup game against Salford City.
Without a goal in 392 days, there was a nervous anticipation in the stands as he put the ball down on the spot and a lull in the shouts of encouragement when he began his run-up.
When it hit the net -- one of eight goals scored by City on the day -- it was greeted with the biggest cheer of the afternoon.
