4 tackles won, 85% passing accuracy & more: Milner's excellent stats from Palace victory

James Milner was asked to fill in for the sick Trent Alexander-Arnold as Liverpool took on Crystal Palace.

The 35-year-old was tasked with stopping Wilfried Zaha and also ensuring that the attacking threat down the right side stayed alive.

He did an excellent job and his numbers from the game are a testament to that. Here's a look:

113 touches

85.5% passing accuracy

4 clearances

2 interceptions

2 long balls completed

3 crosses completed

4/5 tackles won

10 duels won

The fact that he can offer this type of production at his age in a position he doesn't prefer is exactly what makes Milner truly elite.
