    And another labelled the England ace “the David Beckham of Wish”.
    But most observers were were more generous as a clip of Grealish having frosted tips added to his slicked back undercut was posted by a stylist. 
    Pep Guardiola’s men overturned Arsenal’s eight-point lead to win their third Premier League crown in a row with three games to spare.
    And in the first of those matches City rested their big names yet still beat Chelsea 1-0 amid an Etihad title party on Sunday.

    So fans were delighted to see Grealish, 27, relaxing during downtime.
    He was shown texting during his haircut – before whipping off a hairdresser’s cape covering his body to reveal he was wearing just shorts.
    But one viewer referenced Ronaldo’s notorious noodle style, which the 38-year-old has dabbled with over the past two decades.
    It’s a rare occasion when Grealish might not be flattered to win comparisons with the legendary five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

    And the day after team-mate Erling Haaland turned the air blue by dropping the F-bomb on Grealish during a live TV interview, the ex-Aston Villa skipper turned streaks of his hair light ala the Portugal striker.
    He didn’t go the full way, however, as one fan noted: “Thought he gonna transform into Ronaldo noodle hair.”
    Another poster wrote: “Champions haircut for my guy @jackgrealish fully deserved.”
    Similar compliments included: “He’s always got great hair” … “King” … and “very nice”.
    And one fan said: “With a matte product finish and without the hair band jacks hair looks so hot.”
    But another observer spotted Grealish was slouching over his phone.
    She wrote: “He really needs to show some respect, get off his phone and sit up straight.”
    But surely after such an incredible season – and with a club Treble still possible – Grealish should be cut some slack.

    But he did so without his famed ponytail, letting down his blonde hair before firing past Aaron Ramsdale.
    And fans reckon Haaland found it all “too easy” as City all-but ended Arsenal’s title-winning hopes.
    One said: “The game is too easy for Haaland, he was mid-way through putting his hair in a bun before scoring that.”
    Another added: “Erling Haaland literally letting his hair down for the last few second.”

    One joked: “Haaland let his hair down and scores, just too easy for him.”
    Another agreed: “Haaland letting his hair down, too easy.”
    Even ex-England striker and BBC pundit Dion Dublin said: “Incredible player. He’s taken his Alice band out, let his hair down and made some good runs.
    “He makes it look so easy. It’s a pleasure to watch him play. I’m lost for words now, he’s outstanding.”

    While Gunners legend Martin Keown compared Haaland to kids’ cartoon character TARZAN.
    He said on BT Sport:  “He is the driving force, they had good players that need to be managed and information to take onboard.
    “Haaland took time to gel but now in other gears, today he was like Tarzan on the pitch, he let his hair down at the end, now he has settled in he has let his hair down a bit and is even better.”
    City closed Arsenal’s lead at the top to two points but crucially have two games in hand.
    Kevin de Bruyne’s double sandwiched a John Stones header, before Rob Holding pulled one back for the Gunners.
    But Haaland and City got the last laugh with his added-time strike sealing the game and possibly the season.
