James Milner’s penalty for Brighton against Manchester City on Sunday saw him become the second oldest goal-scorer in Premier League history.

The veteran midfielder came off the bench at the Amex and calmly slotted home the spot-kick to equalise for the Seagulls in the second half.

It was the England international’s first goal for Brighton after joining from Liverpool in 2023 and the first time he has found the back of the net since the 2019/20 season for the Reds.

As he struck the ball past James Trafford, Milner was aged 39 years and 239 days, but he is not quite the oldest player ever to score in the Premier League.

Teddy Sheringham still holds that record as he scored significantly later on in terms of age, at 40 years and 268 days.
