It was a dramatic end to the Premier League campaign with Manchester City leaving it late to come from two goals down to defeat Aston Villa. After the game, unused sub on the day Jack Grealish joined the Sky Sports panel on the pitch to discuss the season.
When the subject of celebrations came up, Roy Keane advised the playmaker to "Keep off the top shelf" and "stick to the beer" during City's celebrations.
Grealish replied:
"Not for the next three nights, no chance, maybe four"
🗣 “Keep off the top shelf.”

The former Villa man certainly stuck to his word.
Jack Grealish leading the City celebrations
Yesterday at the City victory parade, Grealish was the star. He was seen drinking vodka cokes and bottles of beer.

With Manchester City celebrating their fourth title in five years under Pep Guardiola, the players took to the streets of Manchester yesterday during their open top bus parade.
Grealish can be seen making the most of the celebrations while laughing and joking about the performance of team mates Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez during the game against Aston Villa.
While leading the victory parade celebrations, Grealish also made an unnecessary dig about how Riyad Mahrez performed to the level of Newcastle's Miguel Almiron, a comment which the Paraguayan will definitely not be pleased with.
Bernardo Silva asked his teammate what the secret was to yesterday's win was, with Grealish replying;
"There's two secrets. Number one, Riyad (Mahrez) take him off the pitch, as soon as possible. He played like Almiron."
Jack Grealish added that Bernardo Silva also needed to get off the pitch.
"He's been so good this season, but get him off the pitch"
Bernardo Silva had the perfect response for his well oiled teammate.
" Number three, keep Jack Grealish on the f*cking bench"

Grealish's comments are certainly uncalled for considering the fact the he only scored two more goals than Almiron in the Premier League this season.
Newcastle supporters certainly didn't appreciate it.
almiron is the most random player to come for 😭 poor bastard just smiles n runs leave him out of it

Just a gentle reminder to Jack Grealish that he has played 200 mins more than Almiron this season and only has 2 more goals... that's playing in a Man C team that has scored more than double the goals NUFC have this season.
You need to pull your weight Jack lad.#NUFC #MCFC— NUFC_Chat (@ChatNufc) May 24, 2022
Almiron is probably the least likely player to let that boil up inside, lunge in two footed in a few years time over that..
Go on Miggy. Surprise us.— NUFCThreatLevel (@NUFCThreatLevel) May 23, 2022
Guardiola enjoying Grealish's role in the celebrations.
Pep can often be viewed as a smooth and calm operator from the outside, but the City boss certainly enjoyed his side's celebrations yesterday.
The Manchester City squad gathered on a stage in front of the fans where Riyad Mahrez questioned Kyle Walker about what left wingers he has struggled to play against.
After Mahrez interrogated the full back, asking who has beaten Walker in a 1v1, Grealish had the perfect but not most humble answer.
"Who did actually beat you in 1v1? Mbappe? Neymar?" Mahrez asked.
Walker looked bemused and unsure how to answer the question, prompting Grealish to step in.
"Me when I was at Villa, that's why Pep signed me." said Grealish.
Grealish's reply took Guardiola by surprise and he can be seen laughing hysterically alongside his backroom staff.
"Me when I was at Aston Villa, that's why Pep signed me." 😂
Jack Grealish stole the mic when Kyle Walker was asked who could beat him 1v1.
