Aston Villa winger Marc Albrighton struck the 20,000th goal in the Premier League during defeat to Arsenal.
Albrighton conceded losing the game took some of the shine off the landmark.
He said: "It was great to score the goal. It is one of those things you remember for the rest of your life. People will remind me of it for years to come.
"It is a milestone but it has been soured slightly by the fact we lost the game."
