Grealish stars as Man City hit Leipzig for six

Grealish admits the lure of playing on the Champions League stage convinced him to leave his boyhood club Aston Villa to join City in a club-record £100 million move in the close-season.The England winger made the most of his first taste of the tournament's bright lights with a brilliant solo effort in the second half at the Etihad Stadium.

"When I'm in that position, running into the area I'd back myself one-on-one against anyone and it paid off. It was a great night."Nordi Mukiele's own goal had doubled City's lead before Nkunku got one back on a memorable personal evening for the French winger.Nkunku's third was followed by Joao Cancelo's rocket and a red card for Leipzig's former City defender Angelino.

Leipzig boss Jesse Marsch added:"Whenever we got any momentum, City came up with a response. There were too many individual errors. We weren't good enough against this kind of opponent."City was ahead in the 16th minute as Grealish's corner found Ake and he rose highest for a powerful header that Peter Gulacsi tipped onto the crossbar, only to see it bounce down over the goal-line.
