James Milner Ties Gareth Barry’s Premier League Record With 653rd Appearance

Milner equaled Barry’s all-time Premier League appearance mark when he came on after 22 minutes for Brighton in their 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa, replacing Carlos Baleba. The 40-year-old now sits on 653 top-flight games, dating back to his 2002 Leeds debut at 16. With 12 matches left and no retirement talk, Milner is poised to own the record soon.
