Everton coach hits back at Grealish critics

David Moyes insists Jack Grealish (above) has not been a disappointment with Everton after the winger’s second goal of the season sealed a 1-0 win at Bournemouth on Tuesday.

Grealish impressed in his first few games for Everton after signing on loan from Manchester City in August, but he had endured a dip in form lately.

The 30-year-old, who had fallen out of favour with City boss Pep Guardiola last season, scored just once in his first 14 games for Everton before netting the winner against Bournemouth.

Grealish struck in the 78th minute with a deflected shot that Everton boss Moyes joked could have gone down as an own goal for Bournemouth’s Bafode Diakite.
