The former England international was playing for the Reds against Crystal Palace when he was dismissed by referee Jon Moss, who was Milner's PE teacher at a primary school in Leeds.

Milner, 33, was sent off late in the game for a a foul on Palace's Wilfried Zaha.

But thankfully for Milner, table-topping Liverpool managed to hang on to their lead to win the game 4-3 and secure three much-needed points, thereby keeping them at the summit of the Premier League table.

Since the game, a photo has emerged on social media of Milner and Moss together during the soccer star's school days.
