It heated up in the St Mary’s Stadium tunnel after the draw between Manchester City and Southampton (1-1). According to The Sun, Jack Grealish would have waited for Oriol Romeu at the exit of the field to settle his accounts. At the end of a tense match, the 26-year-old Englishman, very angry, would have liked to have a text explanation with the Spanish midfielder, following a first altercation on the lawn.
The two players would have finally discussed and everything would be back to normal, according to Ralph Hassenhuttl, the Saints coach. “Grealish was waiting for him in the tunnel because of a few things that happened off the field. It was not good. But it was not for the cameras, they talked about it and everything is fine”, said the Austrian technician at the microphone of Sky Sports. With this draw, the Englishman and his partners lost their first points in the Premier League since October, they who remained on 12 consecutive victories in the league.
