Milner extends Brighton contract with Premier League appearances record in sight
James Milner has agreed a one-year contract extension with Brighton & Hove Albion, the south-coast club said on Friday, as the 39-year-old eyes the all-time record for appearances in the Premier League. Milner, who made his Premier League bow as a 16-year-old for Leeds United in 2002, was restricted to just four league appearances in the 2024-25 campaign due to an injury in August, taking his overall tally to 638 Premier League games. But Milner, who will celebrate his 40th birthday in January, now has the chance to overhaul Gareth Barry's record of 653 Premier League games. "I'm really pleased we will have James with us again this season," head coach Fabian Huerzeler said in a statement. "Last season he wasn't able to help the team on the pitch as much as he would have liked, but around the squad his experience is invaluable, especially for the younger players. "He's a great guy to have in our environment, who is always there for me and the team. I'm looking forward to working with him again."

Brighton leave out joint top-scorer Pedro from Spurs trip over training incident
LONDON: Brighton & Hove Albion will be without their joint top-scorer Joao Pedro when they visit Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, with manager Fabian Huerzeler saying the Brazil striker has been left out due to a 'small issue in training.' For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport Pedro, who equals Danny Welbeck with 10 league goals this season, did not play in Monday's 3-2 win over champions Liverpool, with a report by The Athletic later attributing the 23-year-old's absence to an altercation he had with a teammate during training. 'With Joao we had a small issue in training, a type which isn't uncommon from time to time in all football clubs. We dealt with it internally and the matter is closed,' Huerzeler told reporters on Friday. 'Joao is an incredible football player. He is a match winner for us. That's why we invested in him. But there are principles, there are values... they are non-negotiable. 'Joao is still a young player, and (there's) still a lot of potential that he will grow. I'm sure he'll learn from this and come back stronger next season.' Pedro last played for Brighton on April 19, when he was sent off for flicking his hand into Brentford defender Nathan Collins' face during a 4-2 loss, an act which got him a three-match suspension for violent conduct. With ninth-placed Brentford three points below Brighton, a draw at Spurs will ensure Huerzeler's men finish eighth, which could earn them a place in next season's UEFA Conference League provided some other results go their way.

Brighton keep European hopes alive with 3-2 win over Liverpool

(EPA Images pic) BRIGHTON : Brighton & Hove Albion substitute Jack Hinshelwood struck a late winner as the host came from behind to grab a 3-2 victory over champions Liverpool to keep their slim hopes of playing in Europe next season alive after twice coming from behind. Battling for eighth place and a chance of playing European football next season if Chelsea win the Conference League, Brighton went behind in the ninth minute when Harvey Elliott scored from close range after a superb Liverpool attack, but midfielder Yasin Ayari levelled in the 32nd minute. The home side still managed to go in a goal down at the break after Dominik Szoboszlai scored with a dipping cross-shot that flew over keeper Bart Verbruggen and into the net in first-half stoppage time, but Brighton boss Fabian Huerzeler made the right changes after the break to turn the game in their favour. Japan winger Kaoru Mitoma, who was brought on in the 64th minute, equalised four minutes later, cleverly scoring with a difficult shot off the rebound from a Danny Welbeck effort. Welbeck wasted a number of chances on the night, but with Liverpool looking lacklustre since securing the title on April 28, Brighton kept going in the chase for a winner that could see them qualify for Europe if other results go their way. Offered the chance to become the hero after his introduction in the 84th, 20-year-old Hinshelwood grabbed it with both hands, firing home the winner from Matt O'Riley's pass a minute later. The goal was initially disallowed for offside but a lengthy VAR review followed and it was given to leave Brighton eighth on 58 points from 37 games, three ahead of Brentford and four in front of Fulham, with Bournemouth a point further back with a game in hand.
