A number of Liverpool fans have been commenting on Twitter about James Milner’s superb performance in the Reds’ Premier League win at Anfield on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp’s charges hosted Bournemouth in the day’s early kickoff hoping to get back to winning ways after two defeats in a row, having lost to Watford in the league and Chelsea in the FA Cup.

Liverpool got off to a difficult start and fell behind in controversial circumstances as Callum Wilson slotted his ninth goal of the season inside the opening 10 minutes despite an apparent push on Joe Gomez in the build-up.

However, the Reds surged back as Mohamed Salah equalised in the 25th minute after salvaging Sadio Mane’s delivery, and the Senegal international then grabbed what turned out to be the winner just eight minutes later.

Milner thoroughly impressed during the game, the captain deployed at left-back as Klopp opted not to risk Andrew Robertson.

The 34-year-old was defensively solid, making a simply wonderful goal-saving clearance to deny Ryan Fraser an equaliser, and linked up well going forward, his deliveries causing Bournemouth plenty of problems.

Here is how some Liverpool fans on social media reacted to Milner’s display on the day:
