Jack Grealish makes gesture at Aston Villa fans after being booed on Villa Park return with Man City

Ever since Grealish left Villa for City in a £100 million ($125m) move in 2021, the winger has been booed by his old side's fans. That was particularly on show in City's 2-1 loss at Villa on Saturday but instead of just sitting there and taking it, the England international held up three fingers to signify the three Premier League titles he has won for the Cityzens.

Aside from Grealish being taunted by Villa fans, his City side are in a deep crisis. This result meant they have won just one of their last 12 games in all competitions and their hopes of retaining their Premier League title look to be over. Plus, some believe the 29-year-old should leave City to further his career.

Grealish began his career at Villa and went on to make 213 appearances for his boyhood club, scoring 32 goals and bagging 41 assists in the process.

Grealish's City side will hope to return to winning ways on Thursday when they host lowly Everton at the Etihad in their next Premier League encounter.
