Miguel Almiron gave his shirt to a fan holding a Jack Grealish sign after scoring in 3-3 draw with Man City

Miguel Almiron gave his shirt to a fan who had a Jack Grealish sign after Newcastle's 3-3 draw with Manchester City.

In May, during Manchester City's Premier League title celebrations, a drunken Grealish aimed a bizarre taunt at the Newcastle winger.

While at the parade, the former Aston Villa captain was on Bernardo Silva's Instagram story a day after City came from 2-0 down to beat his former side and pip Liverpool to the title in dramatic fashion on the final day.

Talking to the camera, Grealish said: "Riyad [Mahrez], take him off the pitch, as soon as possible. He played like Almiron."

Many deemed the surprise comment to have been disrespectful and there was intrigue as to how Almiron would respond against City on Sunday.

With Grealish out with a knock picked up against Bournemouth, Almiron was on target as Newcastle held City to a draw in a entertaining six-goal thriller at St James' Park.

And after the contest, he went over to the fans and gave his shirt to a young lad with a sign that read, "Miggy, can Grealish have your shirt?".

Almiron's strike levelled matters after Ilkay Gundogan's opener, before goals from Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier - the latter scoring a free-kick - put the Magpies in dreamland.

But City hit back with goals from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva in quick succession to ensure they remain unbeaten so far this term.

Prior to the game, manager Eddie Howe had played down any talk of Grealish's jibe being used as motivation for Almiron and the rest of the side.

"I haven’t broached it with Miggy, I don’t think it’s something we really need to discuss," he told the press.

"I see a very happy person who is in a really good place. I don’t see someone who needs extra motivation.”

Sky Sports mentioned the Grealish joke a number of times in their coverage and captain Trippier answered a question about it in the same vein as his manager post-match.

"Miggy’s had a fantastic pre-season and he deserves all the credit,” Trippier said.

“What we said is our motivation is playing against the champions, we want to be where they are."
