It’s no secret that Premier League leaders Manchester City are exceptionally technically gifted when it comes to football.
But it turns out the City side are just as talented at providing off-the-pitch entertainment.
GETTY
City are 11 points clear of second-placed Liverpool
Following the Citizen’s impressive 1-0 victory over title rivals Chelsea, behind-the-scenes footage released by the club revealed the fiery atmosphere following the win.
And what better way to unwind after a hard day’s work than a game of tennis between Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva?
The hilarious clip sees the two City stars face off in front of a crowd of eagerly watching City players, not to mention a stern-looking referee who also judges the clash in the form of Rodri.
A fiery Grealish took on a quietly confident Silva with the game neck and neck at 1-1.

Rodri jumps to adopt the position of video assistant referee and much to Grealish’s delight, the decision is overturned
But all of that was for naught, as Silva broke the deadlock at 5-5 and was victorious – breaking Grealish’s heart.
City fans are also raving about the content of the tennis head, with a supporter asking winner Bernardo Silva to face João Cancelo next time.
It is clear that the spirit in the dressing room is high at the Etihad.
