James Milner's goal against Manchester City on Sunday not only helped to secure a point for Liverpool, but it also set a scoring record in the Premier League. 

Milner now holds the record for scoring in the most matches without suffering defeat, surpassing Darius Vassell's feat of netting in 46 different matches in which he was not once on the losing side.
