Around ten relatives were watching the televised match when they heard noises upstairs and dogs barking frantically, The Sun reports.

The group, which includes Grealish's girlfriend Sasha Attwood, hos parents (Kevan and Karen), his grandmother, two sisters and brother took cover at the unfamiliar mansion which Grealish moved into just before Christmas.

The report adds that police raced to the scene while a helicopter scoured the estate fearing a hostage situation. Meanwhile, neighbour were told to lock doors and stay inside.

It's understood extensive security and perimeter fencing was erected around Grealish's home, however, the robbers managed to flee with £1million worth of watches and jewellery.

Grealish learnt of the incident moments after the final whistle at Goodison Park and rushed back to the £5.6million Cheshire property.

A source told The Sun: “The family are really shaken.

“The gang took a lot of watches and jewellery. They executed their raid when Manchester City were playing live on TV and all his family had gathered downstairs to cheer him on.

“No one was injured but there was a lot of panic. Everyone was terrified as they were all so vulnerable.

“It's an enormous property, so it is understandable why no one heard anything at first.

“It was also the first time the family had visited so they were unfamiliar with the property.

“When the dogs went mad, and they could hear people creeping about, they pressed the security panic alarm.

“An emergency unit responded immediately, with multiple police cars
