Guardiola hails Grealish for dedicating goal to late brother

Grealish scored his first Premier League goal since December 2023 as City beat Leicester 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

The game was played on the anniversary of Grealish brother’s death.

The 29-year-old also posted his dedication to his brother on social media, saying: “With me always, especially this day. That was for you, Keelan.”

Keelan was just nine months old when he died in April 2000, when Jack was just four.

“Jack is an incredible human being,” said Guardiola.

“I didn’t know [about the anniversary]. I can’t imagine how tough it can be for mum and dad, his sister and all the family.

“It’s good that this day he remembers him. I’m pretty sure they remember every single day. He scored a goal and made a good game.”

Grealish already in form

Grealish was moved inside from his usual position on the left and opened the scoring just two minutes into the match.

It was his first league goal of the season, following a frustrating campaign marked by injuries and a dip in form.

“He likes to play in the middle,” added Guardiola.

“He’s a guy who used to play free. He’s comfortable playing on the side. Always between the lines he has ability. I’m happy for him. I know it’s not easy when you don’t play regularly. Last game in the FA Cup he played really good.”
