All eyes were on Grealish when he came on as a second half substitute following his British record 100 million pounds (USD 139 million) move from Aston Villa on Thursday. After training with his new teammates for the first time on Friday, Grealish replaced Sam Edozie in the 65th minute and looked lively in his cameo appearance.

Jack Grealish's Manchester City debut was spoiled by Kelechi Iheanacho as the Leicester striker's late penalty clinched a 1-0 win in the Community Shield on Saturday.

All eyes were on Grealish when he came on as a second half substitute following his British record 100 million pounds (USD 139 million) move from Aston Villa on Thursday. After training with his new teammates for the first time on Friday, Grealish replaced Sam Edozie in the 65th minute and looked lively in his cameo appearance.

Grealish, the most expensive English player of all-time, carried more threat than any of his teammates. But Grealish's first game in a City shirt ended in disappointment as Iheanacho netted the last minute winner from the penalty spot.
