‘So many right decisions but…’: Jack Grealish posts bullish tweet in response to Roy Keane – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Aston Villa ace Jack Grealish has taken to Twitter to post a message after some fans accused him of bottling the decision to take a penalty during England’s defeat on penalties to Italy in the final of EURO 2020 last night.
Pundits and fans alike queried why Grealish – a senior pro now, allowed Bukayo Saka to take the fifth spot-kick last night.
Raheem Sterling got the same treatment.
The Aston Villa star has come out punching this morning, however.
