'My team' - Jack Grealish answers his critics with strong message after Man City win vs Man United

Jack Grealish was just one of the Manchester City players to take to social media to share his delight at his side's triumph over Manchester United on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola's men strolled to a 4-1 victory over their cross-city rivals. The home side took the lead after just five minutes with captain Kevin De Bruyne sweeping home a Bernardo Silva cross. Jadon Sancho equalised for United after 22 minutes but the Belgian midfielder added his second of the game to put City in front before half-time.

City stepped it up a notch after the break and added a third through Riyad Mahrez. The game was over as a contest when the Algerian scored late on to hand the Blues a famous win.

The result meant City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to six points having played a game more than second-placed Liverpool. And City's key men on the day could not help but share their delight following the victory.

Grealish, who has been criticised at times since his £100m move from Aston Villa in the summer, enjoyed his first win over United on Sunday. The England international clearly feels as though he's well and truly announced his arrival as a City player after a fine performance, posting: "MY TEAM! Manchester is blue."

De Bruyne tweeted: "What an amazing day. Derby win and 50th goal in the Premier League, Blue city."

Meanwhile, City's other goalscorer was also overjoyed. Mahrez added: "Flying over the derby.

"Great game from all the team today. Important win."
