Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Grealish didn’t hide his feelings.

"It was a bit frustrating in the second half, because they were trying to slow the game down at times,” he said.



“I've never seen a player in my whole life get booked for taking a quick free-kick.



Two seconds later, one of their defenders gets touched in the back, goes down, and he gives it.

"I'm just like, you can't do that.

I get it, you come to these stadiums and the crowd are on you and I think they feel like they've got to give it.

"But like I said, I think Kieran is now on four yellows, he's only got one more [before a ban] and he gets a yellow today for taking a quick free-kick.
