Lionel Messi: Foden & Grealish watched video of PSG star before combining for Man City goal

Manchester City playmaker Jack Grealish grabbed his first ever FA Cup goal on Tuesday night, thanks to a Phil Foden assist that had definite Lionel Messi vibes to it.

Peterborough United, currently bottom of the Championship table, battled hard for an hour against the Premier League leaders in their fifth road tie at the Western Homes Stadium.

However, their brave resistance was finally broken when Riyad Mahrez found the net with City’s first shot on target of the evening.

Grealish put the tie beyond all reasonable doubt seven minutes later as he latched on to a perfectly-floated ball played by Foden from just inside his own half to double his team’s advantage.

The 2-0 scoreline might have been harsh on Peterborough given their immense efforts on the night, but Foden’s pass to his City and England colleague was simply sublime.
