Milner had chosen to wear the number 20 shirt for the upcoming season, a nod to Jota's time at Liverpool. The number was retired by the club as a mark of respect for Jota, who had made it his own while playing for the Reds.

Brighton's comeback win against Manchester City was a significant one, thanks in part to Milner's penalty and a late goal from Brajan Gruda. The victory will give the team a boost as they head into the next Premier League match.
