Despite the late pressure from Aston Villa, Manchester City managed to hold out to win the Carabao Cup final 2-1.It was a visibly devastating blow for Jack Grealish, who could be seen on the floor after the game looking emotional, while Phil Foden went off to collect his Man of the Match award and winner’s medal.On the day it is the 19-year-old who stood out, and that has led to some saying that he is a better player than the Villa talisman.

This comes after his performance in which he got an assist, two key passes, three dribbles, two tackles, a clearance and an interception.
In contrast, Grealish made one key pass, while failing to take a shot, dribble or any defensive contributions.
One suggested that “Mr Grealish could learn a thing or two from that boy”, while another stated that “if Grealish is £100m then Foden is £200m”.
This has led to some suggesting that the City youngster should be ahead of Grealish in the queue to get an England call-up.
Villa fans have shown that they are desperate to see Grealish in the England squad, so to see Foden included ahead of him, having played just 264 Premier League minutes this season, would be infuriating for them.
Did he really play for us?! No Villa fan has managed to name all of these obscure Villans….
However, fans outside of the club seem to think that Foden is more deserving of a place, with one saying “cmon Gareth do the right thing”.
Meanwhile, Villa fans reacted to a heartbreaking video of Jack Grealish.
