James Milner has taken to Instagram to give his reaction to Liverpool’s win against FC Midtjylland at home in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Jurgen Klopp’s side won 2-0 against Midtjylland at Anfield in Group D to make two successive victories in the Champions League this season.
After a goalless first half, Diogo Jota, signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window, put the Premier League club in the lead in the 55th minute.
Mohamed Salah secured all three points for Liverpool in the third minute of injury time when he scored from the penalty spot.
Milner, who can operate as a midfielder, winger or full-back, started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes.
The 34-year-old former Leeds United and Newcastle United star is pleased with the final result, but he believes that Liverpool missed the fans at Anfield.
Milner has also praised 19-year-old central defender Rhys Williams for his performance for the Reds.
How did James Milner play against Midtjylland?
Milner worked hard as usual and was better in the second half when he was more influential on the match.
According to WhoScored, the former Aston Villa star took one shot which was not on target, had a pass accuracy of 81%, took 56 touches, and made three tackles, two interceptions and one clearance.
How did Rhys Williams play against Midtjylland?
Williams started the match as a substitute, but the teenager was called into action on the half-hour mark when Fabinho, who was playing as a central defender in place of the injured Virgil van Dijk, pulled a hamstring and had to be substituted.
The England Under-21 international gave a very mature performance and was quite calm and composed at the back.
According to WhoScored, the teenager had a pass accuracy of 86%, won two headers, took 60 touches, and made one tackle and one interception.
