Jack Grealish calls Man City superfan Finlay, 11, after dedicating his goal in England's World Cup win over Iran to the youngster... who had asked him to perform a special celebration when he next scored

Jack Grealish dedicated his goal for England against Iran on Monday to a young Manchester City fan - before FaceTiming him to discuss it 24 hours later.

The Three Lions put six past Iran to get off the mark in style at the Qatar World Cup, and Grealish was amongst the goalscorers on the day.

After coming off the bench, the City midfielder bagged England's sixth and final goal when Newcastle's Callum Wilson teed him up in front of an empty net, leaving him to simply sweep the ball home.

The strike was Grealish's first at a major international tournament, though despite the personal significance of it he did not forget to pay tribute to 11-year-old City supporter Finlay Fisher, who suffers with cerebral palsy.
