'That was for you Keelan' - Grealish dedicates goal to late brother

An emotional Jack Grealish dedicated his first Premier League goal in almost 16 months to his younger brother Keelan in the 25th anniversary of his death.

On his first league start since December, the Manchester City midfielder scored a second-minute opener in the 2-0 win against Leicester at Etihad Stadium.

As he celebrated, it seemed Grealish was simply happy at marking a rare start with an even rarer league goal, ending a long wait since the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on 16 December 2023.

It was only after the final whistle he revealed the poignant family anniversary he was marking.
