Jack Grealish banters team-mates and Miguel Almiron during league title parade

Jack Grealish had plenty to shout about on Monday as he celebrated winning his first major trophy of his career - and he certainly did during Manchester City's Premier League title parade.

City retained the Premier League on Sunday in a dramatic final day - coming from two-nil down against Aston Villa to win 3-2 to pip title rivals Liverpool by a point.

And the hysteria of that victory at the Etihad Stadium carried over into the streets of Manchester as Grealish led the celebrations.

Clearly enjoying himself throughout, as he should, a hoarse Grealish - who toasted City's success by drinking beers and appearing to have vodka cokes too - embarked on some light-hearted banter with his team-mates about the key to their success.

Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez were in the crosshairs of the England international as he took friendly jabs about their displays against Aston Villa.

The pair both started Sunday's clash but were below-par their usual high standards.

Mahrez was substituted on 56 minutes by Raheem Sterling at 1-0 down, while Silva was replaced by Ilkay Gundogan 12 minutes later.

Both substitutions by manager Pep Guardiola proved to be inspired as Sterling set up Gundogan to reduce the deficit to 2-1, while the latter then scored the winner to seal City's fourth Premier League title in five seasons.

And teasing the pair, a jovial Grealish reminded them of those changes.

'Do you know what?' Grealish said on camera during a live stream of festivities. 'I said earlier on the coach, it's been brilliant to win my first title.

'I want to thank everyone, but the main person I want to thank is Bernardo Silva for coming off in the [68th] minute, because he was miles off it yesterday!'

The England international's quip sparked hysterics from Kyle Walker and John Stones.

Grealish then continued his banter directly to Silva's face alongside Kevin De Bruyne.

Pulling Grealish alongside him for his Instagram story, Silva asked Grealish what was the secrets to their success against Villa.

With a huge smile on his face the winger did not hesitate before saying: 'There were two secrets... number one, Riyad, take him off the pitch, as soon as possible. He played like [Newcastle star Miguel] Almiron yesterday.

'Number two, [pointing at Silva] he's been so good this season, get him off the pitch.'

The Portuguese then came up with a third secret, adding: 'Number three... keep Jack Grealish on the f****** bench.'

Silva's shot back at Grealish caused the pair to crack up laughing - with the latter not coming on against his former club on Sunday.

Having taken a jibe at Silva, Mahrez and Newcastle's Miguel Almiron - City's No 10 also mocked Kyle Walker too.

Walker was asked by Mahrez whether anybody has beaten him in a one vs one situation during his career.

'Who did actually beat you in 1v1?' Mahrez asked Walker before questioning if PSG pair Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have.

Walker responded: 'I don't know' but before he could finish his answer, Grealish was quick to nip in.

'Me when I was at Aston Villa. That's why Pep Guardiola signed me,' he said with a smirk on his face.

Grealish's taunt caused the City boss to keel over laughing - having signed him for £100million from Aston Villa last summer.
