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

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could extend Brighton tenure
M/DBrighton & Hove Albion
May 14, 2025
Milner could sign a new contract with Brighton in the summer, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brighton are in talks with the 39-year-old veteran English midfielder over a new deal with the club. Even though Milner is way past his prime years, Brighton rate him highly due to his positional versatility but also due to what he brings off the pitch. It wouldn't be surprising if Milner returns to Brighton for one more year before calling it a career.
