Manchester City's first-team stars were out in force last night to attend James Milner's Vegas-themed charity ball.

The players, many of whom were joined by their wives or girlfriends, arrived at Trafford Park just hours after securing a 3-0 win over Southampton at St Mary's.

The EventCity ball, which benefits Milner's foundation that donates to NSPCC, Help For Heroes and Leukaemia Research, was hosted by the midfielder and his partner Amy.

"It's been a great evening of entertainment and it's great to have such good support from the team," the Manchester Evening News quotes Milner as saying.

The event, which was organised by Entertainment Today, included performances from the Kaiser Chiefs and popstar Alexandra Burke.
