Crowley wrote: “Buzzing to score my first goal for @bcfc and get through to the next round, that was for you and your family bro @benikafobe.”
Aston Villa captain Grealish put the emoji in the comment section and that quickly got hundreds of replies.
Grealish apologised, explaining he didn’t see the full caption written by Crowley and that it was ‘just banter’ between friends.
The duo know each other well after they played together in Aston Villa’s academy before Crowley moved to Arsenal in 2013.
“This is all I saw when I posted the emoji,” said Grealish. “It was just banter with Dan and I didn’t read the whole caption before posting. Apologies”.
