Grealish jokingly brands Saka a 'LIAR' after he claimed his goal WAS deliberate

Aston Villa's Jack Grealish has jokingly called Bukayo Saka a 'liar' after the latter's claim his goal against Chelsea was deliberate.

Arsenal winger Saka scored his side's third goal in a 3-1 win against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, looping a cross-shot over stranded goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

Despite seeming like a fluke, the 19-year-old light-heartedly claimed after the game that the goal was deliberate as he saw Mendy 'off his line'.

And Saka's England team-mate Grealish gave a five-word response in reply.

He tweeted: 'Ur to (sic) funny man! Liar'.

The pair's compatriot Tammy Abraham also had his say on Saka's claim after the match.

The Chelsea striker, coming off the pitch alongside Saka and Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles, interjected: 'You didn't mean it, shut up man.'

Saka's 56th-minute goal came after Alexandre Lacazette's penalty and a sumptuous Granit Xhaka free-kick, killing Chelsea hopes of getting a good result.

The Blues grew into the game and pulled one back through Abraham but Jorginho had his penalty saved by Bernd Leno.

The result means Mikel Arteta's Gunners side have won their first Premier League match in seven attempts and their first domestic game since November 1.
