'Can't please everyone': Jack Grealish fires back at Graeme Souness after pundit revealed he would have 'loved' playing against Aston Villa captain - and the Premier League's most fouled star even defends himself with stats

Aston Villa star Jack Grealish has launched a steadfast defence of himself after Graeme Souness' withering criticism at the weekend.

The Sky Sports pundit revealed he would have relished playing against the 24-year-old, who is now the most fouled player in the Premier League, due to his inability to read the game at a quick enough pace.

Grealish has now fired back at the remarks on social media, and even referred to the amount of chances he has created this season to defy the typically outspoken Scot.
