Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher thinks that Jack Grealish is partly responsible for the outstanding form of Miguel Almiron.

The Newcastle United midfielder scored a stunning goal to help his side to a 2-1 win over Tottenham at the weekend.

Carragher, who now works as a pundit on Sky Sports, mentioned comments about Almiron from Manchester City midfielder Grealish.

During City's title win last season, Grealish joked about Riyad Mahrez coming off in their 3-2 come from behind win against Aston Villa.

He said, per Mirror: "There were two secrets… number one, Riyad, taking him off the pitch, as soon as possible. He played like Almiron yesterday…"

"The form this man is in is absolutely scintillating," Carragher on Almiron during his co-commentary for Sky Sports.

"It comes from Lloris again, it's not a great pass out wide but Almiron just goes past Lenglet like he's not there. The goalkeeper throws his arms out again but he should do better Hugo.

"The confidence this lad has got now, he wouldn't have done that last season. No doubt about it.

"He just opens his body up and finds that far corner after showing the strength initially but the confidence to go past the defender and open it up. This fella is a different player and the man that's motivated it is not just Eddie Howe, it's Jack Grealish."
