  • Miguel Almiron was involved in a savage moment after Newcastle’s thriller against Manchester City
  • The winger was spotted giving his shirt to a fan in the stands, who had a sign with Jack Grealish’s name
  • City attacker Grealish was on the spot last season after making some remarks perceived as disrespectful towards Almiron
  • Newcastle played out a 3-3 draw against Manchester City in a thrilling encounter on Sunday, August 21, 2022

Miguel Almiron thrilled fans on Sunday after giving his matchday shirt to a fan who had a sign with Jack Grealish’s name after the 3-3 draw against Manchester City.

For context, Jack Grealish courted controversy in May when he went on a bizarre taunt of the Newcastle winger while drunk during Man City’s title celebrations.

"Riyad [Mahrez], take him off the pitch, as soon as possible. He played like Almiron." Grealish said at the time in a clip that went viral.

Grealish missed the Sunday clash against the Magpies as he was out with a knock, but Almiron was in his full powers as he found the net as Newcastle held City in a six-goal thriller.

After the game, the Paraguayan went over to a fan with a sign that read: "Miggy, can Grealish have your shirt?".

It was Almiron’s strike that levelled matters on Sunday after Manchester City took the lead early on through Ilkay Gundogan.

Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier then put Newcastle 3-1 up, but the champions mounted a comeback with goals from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva in quick succession.

Tuchel on what went wrong vs Leeds

Elsewhere, Thomas Tuchel blamed a number of factors for Chelsea’s crushing 3-0 defeat to Leeds on Sunday, August 21.

Goals from Brendan Aaronson, Rodrigo Moreno, and Jack Harrison were enough to condemn Chelsea to a comprehensive defeat.

The Blues were hoping to return to winning ways during their trip to Elland Road, having dropped points during last weekend's 2-2 fiery draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

Thomas Tuchel said after the game that ‘everything that could have went wrong, did’.
