Published on September 1, 2025

Milner scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Manchester City.

Milner broke a Premier League record when stepping up to the penalty spot Sunday, converting to become the oldest player to score a penalty and the second oldest to score a goal in the league's history. This comes after appearing off the bench for 30 minutes, with both appearances this season coming from the bench. This role will likely continue; not expected to see many starts at the age of 39.
