In the 2nd round of the EPL, Everton achieved a confident 2-0 victory at home against Brighton in an important match. This game was memorable not only for the result but also for being a historic day for the club — the official opening of the new stadium took place on the same day.
One of the heroes of the match was Jack Grealish, currently playing for Everton on loan from Manchester City. He made two assists and made a significant contribution to his team’s victory.
“Before the match, we aimed to put on a real show for the fans. Today is a historic day for the club — the new stadium opened its doors. Everything went perfectly, and we dedicate this victory to all our supporters,” Grealish said after the game.
He also spoke about the importance of assists:
“For me, giving an assist is just as important as scoring myself. Goals matter a lot in football, but playing with Kevin De Bruyne taught me many things. An assist — helping your teammate score — is a special joy. My wish is to keep contributing to the team. I hope we will have many more goals and assists ahead.”
Grealish also commented on his condition:
“Today I felt free on the pitch. I had more opportunities to take risks and show creativity. I’m happy with both the team’s performance and my own. The last time I played the full 90 minutes was about 4–5 months ago. I’m not yet at my best form, but I want to get stronger. Playing at this stadium, with this team, is a great honor and joy for me.”
Thus, Everton’s victory at the new stadium was not only a joy for the fans but may also be remembered as a new chapter in Grealish’s career.
