Liverpool veteran James Milner was happy to get his own back on Virgil van Dijk after scoring from the spot in victory at Cardiff City.

Milner converted an 81st minute penalty with an emphatic to keeper Neil Etheridge's left to send the Reds back to the top of the Premier League table.

The former England star then ran away behind the goal to celebrate with Roberto Firmino - but instead of the usual hugs and congratulations he shock off the Brazilian striker.

Milner then proceeded to hold his back and hilariously pretended to hobble down the touch line with a walking stick.

"Virgil [van Dijk] has been giving me plenty of stick for being old," Milner said.

"So it was just one for him really."
