Milner Makes Premier League History with Assist to Kostoulas
James Milner, a veteran soccer player, did something amazing!
He helped his teammate, Kostoulas, score a goal.
This is a big deal because Kostoulas wasn't even born when Milner started playing professional soccer.
It's like a grown-up helping a kid who wasn't even around when the grown-up started their job!
Milner is also getting close to playing more Premier League games than anyone else.

Milner made his Premier League debut on November 10, 2002.
