In a heartfelt moment during Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Leicester City, Jack Grealish dedicated his first Premier League goal in nearly 16 months to his late brother, Keelan, on the 25th anniversary of his passing. Grealish opened the scoring just two minutes into the match, marking a significant personal milestone as he celebrated a rare start and goal after a challenging period of limited appearances.

Grealish, who was only four years old when Keelan died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at nine months old, spoke about the emotional significance of the day following the match. "My little brother passed away 25 years ago today," he shared, explaining that such anniversaries are always difficult for his family. The presence of his parents at the game made the moment even more poignant for him.

After the match, Grealish took to Instagram to pay tribute, stating, "With me always especially this day ... that was for you Keelan." Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised Grealish's character, emphasizing his generous nature and ability to remember his family in tough times. Guardiola expressed his admiration for Grealish, noting the challenges he faces with his family, including his sister who has cerebral palsy.

This goal comes at a crucial time for Grealish, as he aims to secure a more consistent spot in the starting lineup amidst a tough season for Manchester City, especially with top scorer Erling Haaland sidelined by injury. Grealish's performance against Leicester, although not at the same level as his previous outing in the FA Cup, showcased his potential as he looks to make a lasting impact for his team moving forward.
