Brighton 1-1 Aston Villa: Jack Grealish stunner rescues draw for Villa after Leandro Trossard strike

Perhaps Neal Maupay's greatest mistake here was mocking Jack Grealish's slicked-back hairstyle, as he mimicked the Aston Villa captain and possibly asked: 'Shouldn't you be on Love Island?'

Because as he so often does, Grealish, or 'Super Jack' as he is known locally, got his own back.

With a swing of his left boot, Villa avoided a seventh defeat in nine games and denied a relegation rival from winning. How vital this could prove come May.

You wouldn't blame Grealish for rubbing Maupay's nose in it and the Brighton forward was involved in a skirmish after full time, with staff having to separate players.
