LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City's new 100 million pounds ($138.7 million) signing Jack Grealish sparkled briefly on his debut but faded along with his team mates as the Premier League champions began the new season with a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Midfielder Grealish, a British-record signing, made a lively start and almost earned a penalty with one jinking run ended on the edge of the area by Tottenham youngster Oliver Skipp.
