STAT ATTACK: Quickest goal this season, Sturridge enjoys Anfield and Gestede's head

James Milner scored his first goal for Liverpool in his eighth game for the clubs in all competitions.

Milner’s goal, on 1min 6secs, was the earliest PL goal this season.

Only against Sunderland (5) has Milner bagged more PL goals than he has managed against Aston Villa (3).

Daniel Sturridge netted his first Premier League goal since March 22nd (v Man Utd).

There were 70 seconds between Rudy Gestede’s first goal for Aston Villa and Daniel Sturridge’s second for Liverpool.

Sturridge has now scored in four consecutive PL games against Aston Villa.

Sturridge’s last eight Premier League goals have all come at Anfield.

Since August 2013, Gestede has scored 21 headed goals in the league, six more than any other player in the English top-four tier.

Liverpool have won 25 Premier League games against Aston Villa, more than they have managed against any other side.
