Luton fans trolled the Manchester City winger for looking incredibly similar to an ex-icon of their own – especially his trademark hairstyle.
And as City trailed 1-0 at Kenilworth Road, home supporters chanted at Grealish: “He’s just a sh*t Harry Cornick.”

And Hatters fans responded by repeating the Boro chant – but as a compliment.
A bit Corni – but who’s complaining?!
