CONTROVERSIAL: At halftime of the Man City match former teammates Jack Grealish and Emi Martinez get into a furious argument down the tunnel.

Jack Grealish and Emiliano Martinez were spotted involved in a tense exchange as they headed down the tunnel during Man City’s match against Aston Villa.

Amid City’s struggles in their worst run of form under Pep Guardiola, the reigning champions approached Saturday’s game determined to return to winning ways.

In an effort to revitalize the team, Guardiola made several adjustments following their disappointing performance in the Manchester derby last week. Notably, this marked Grealish’s first return to Villa Park since departing his boyhood club in 2021.
