Aston Villa's Jack Grealish was forced to stand his ground after being ambushed by an angry Neil Warnock in the Villa Park tunnel.

Grealish was among the last players to leave the field as Villa celebrated a 3-1 Championship victory over Cardiff City.

But Warnock was waiting for him in the tunnel and let fly with a furious verbal tirade at the England under-21 international.

The Bluebirds boss accused Grealish of trying to get his players booked by going to ground too easily and moaning to the referee.

Grealish stood his ground and explained to Warnock that Cardiff's players were out to kick him all afternoon.

Bluebirds defender Lee Peltier was sent off for two bookable offences in the closing stages of the match after fouling Grealish.

Speaking at his post match press conference, 67-year-old Warnock said: “I think Grealish does well for the penalty. I’m a bit disappointed with Grealish today, trying to get players booked.

“He doesn’t need to do that, he’s a good player. He was saying ‘three, four times, how many more?’ and all that and screaming.

“I was disappointed with that aspect but that’s young professionals at times isn’t it"
