Milner and Petrov XIs draw 3-3 in Match for Cancer

The special game was organised to raise funds to tackle cancer through three equal-beneficiary charities – the James Milner Foundation, Celtic FC Foundation and Stiliyan Petrov Foundation.

The sides were led by Liverpool managers past and present at Celtic Park, with Brendan Rodgers in charge of the Petrov XI and Jürgen Klopp in the dugout for the Milner XI.

And the match, which featured a host of familiar faces from Celtic, Liverpool and beyond, was played at a pace that both bosses would have been proud of.

Football freestyler Jeremy Lynch opened the scoring on 11 minutes from the penalty spot.
