England international star Grealish was forced to miss the contest with a lower leg injury but Dean Smith's side left with all three points thanks to Anwar El Ghazi's strike in the fifth minute.

Grealish then took to his Twitter page just ten minutes after the full time whistle to post three emojis of faces rolling around on the floor laughing accompanied by "ahh what a time to be alive."
