Milner produced a quite brilliant lunging assist to prevent a goal kick and instead hand Sadio Mane an easy tap in for Liverpool's second after Mo Salah had inevitably put the hosts in front.

The Reds star was inspired for that assist, and generally brilliant as he got up and down the pitch in his typically tireless fashion.

Fans were full of love and admiration for the lung-busting midfielder, with comparisons to Andrea Pirlo in his prime and even Zlatan Ibrahimovic...
