City kept the pressure up on Chelsea last night with a 4-1 win over Stoke City. This result was largely down to the efforts of James Milner, who both scored and assisted a goal. In doing so, Milner covered more ground than any other player has in a single game so far this season, overtaking Burnley’s George Boyd.
