Tony Mowbray has slammed Aston Villa star Jack Grealish, accusing the youngster of diving in order to sway decisions in his favour.
Speaking after Blackburn’s 1-1 draw against Villa over the weekend, as reported by the Birmingham Mail, Mowbray revealed in his mind, Grealish did his best to convince the referee he had been fouled.
I didn’t feel as if it was a free-kick, I think the boy has bought the free-kick. They were both shoulder to shoulder and he’s thrown his legs to the floor and got a free-kick when I thought the referee had to be a bit stronger.
Villa scored a last-minute free-kick to snatch a point against Blackburn on Saturday after Grealish was brought down by Southampton loanee Harrison Reed.
Conor Hourihane made no mistake from the dead-ball situation and bent a brilliant free-kick into the back of the net to ease some of the pressure that was mounting on Steve Bruce.
The young midfielder has often been a target for opposition clubs in the past, with players looking to take him out of the game and get under his skin.
