Brighton mark James Milner’s record-breaking appearance with win at Brentford

Brighton marked James Milner’s record-breaking 654th Premier League appearance with a much-needed 2-0 win at Brentford.

The pressure had mounted on Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler after a run of one league win in 13 and he again turned to veteran midfielder Milner in attempt to arrest a worrying run of results.

Milner’s inclusion meant he moved past Gareth Barry’s previous record of 653 appearances in the competition and it proved an occasion to remember all round for Brighton after first-half goals by Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck.

What an achievement, @JamesMilner!
