Manchester City star Jack Grealish his hit back at critics who claim that top scorer Erling Haaland has made the team worse this season.
Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm this season by netting 27 goals in 25 games, which is more than any other City player has managed to score in the Premier League era.

However, the Citizens find themselves in second spot on the Premier League table, five points behind Arsenal who have led the way for most of the campaign.
Certain pundits in England bizarrely claimed that Haaland's arrival is the reason Pep Guardiola's side have not been as dominant in the league, a notion which Grealish disagreed with.
"He's one of my closest friends in here, I get on with him really well. When you get on with someone off the pitch, it helps on the pitch," Grealish told BT Sport.
"I think people are trying to get a reaction. I'm like, 'come on, that's just stupid'. We can play to his strengths more, he is so, so fast.
"Listen, it's a pleasure to play with him, I get on well with so many people here. There is no one that I dislike in this dressing room."
