Man City forward Phil Foden shared his reaction as Jack Grealish was recognised for his recent performances for Everton.
Man City have endured a frustrating start to the new season, as they have suffered two consecutive losses to Tottenham and Brighton.
Pep Guardiola had overseen many changes to the squad with Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Ederson leaving Man City on permanent deals, whilst Grealish completed a loan move to Everton.
The Englishman has quickly found form on Merseyside, contributing to four assists, as Erling Haaland even praised Grealish’s displays.
Now, the former Aston Villa star has been recognised after his first month with Everton, earning a reaction from former teammate Foden.

Grealish has been rewarded for a brilliant debut month under David Moyes, officially picking up the Premier League player of the month award for August.
Everton reposted the announcement on Instagram and Man City’s Foden delivered a reaction by liking the post.

Grealish delivered two assists on his debut against Brighton and then followed it up with another brace of assists against Wolves in his second league start.
His impact has already been felt by the club, as Football Insider revealed Everton are already considering making Grealish’s loan spell permanent come the end of the season.
It marks a huge turnaround for the winger as Grealish fell out with Guardiola last term, after a season where he made just seven starts in all competitions.
But now, he looks back to his best and has been rewarded with the player of the month for the first time in his career.

While City have already seen several high-profile departures, Bernardo Silva could be the next one to leave.
Benfica manager Bruno Lage admitted Silva could be a Benfica player “soon” in his latest press conference, fuelling speculation that talks may already be underway.
Time will tell if City will be open for a January exit, but doubts over Silva’s long-term future at the Etihad continue to grow.
