Liverpool fans notice what James Milner did when celebrating Leicester City goal

Liverpool fans have reacted to James Milner 's celebration after he tucked away the penalty which sealed a 2-1 victory over Leicester City.

The Reds maintained their 100% record in the Premier League in dramatic fashion on Saturday afternoon and Milner played a key role.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring for Liverpool five minutes before the break after a wonderful left-footed pass by Milner from deep put the forward through on goal before he finished with ease.

Leicester levelled the contest in the 80th minute when James Maddison found the back of the net but the Reds prevailed thanks to a penalty from Milner in the fifth minute of stoppage time after Mane was brought down by Marc Albrighton in the box.

Regular penalty kick taker Mohamed Salah had already left the field due to injury, before Milner showed his calmness by tucking away the spot-kick.

Milner then proceeded to celebrate by folding his arms in the same style as Paris Saint-Germain and France star Kylian Mbappe's famous celebration, with fans reacting in unison to the hilarious scenes at Anfield.
