Arguably it’s one of the worst performances for how we want to play
And after the match, Milner admitted the Reds weren’t at their best.
"It’s a tough game, they’re a top, top team,” Milner told BT Sport.
“It was just about the result. Arguably it’s one of the worst performances for how we want to play. But it was a gutsy performance.
““We had to grind out the result. You can’t always win games the way you want.
“It’s a massive victory. There’s a long way to go but it’s pleasing to be up there at Christmas.”
