Emile Heskey hails James Milner's penalty prowess

Former Liverpool forward Emile Heskey has praised James Milner for his ability to score from the penalty spot with unerring accuracy.

The vice-captain scored a spot-kick in the 95th minute against Leicester before the international break to ensure the Reds 100% record this season continued and Heskey has sung the Yorkshireman’s talent.

The retired striker told Liverpoolfc.com: “He was our penalty taker at Villa. He’s so good at them because of practice.

“He knows what he wants, he knows what he wants to do. He’s so calm and confident with it. Nothing fazes him.

“You see him training [on them] during training and after training. That sums up James Milner.”

The former Manchester City star is hardly the most glamorous player in the world but every team needs someone like him to succeed; someone who leads by example and is the consummate professional.

Milner’s attitude and experience won Liverpool three valuable points against the Foxes and allowed them to move another three points ahead of Manchester City, who lost 2-0 to Wolves last time out.
