The Stanley-born midfielder responded emphatically to dropping out of the starting XI in place of Sean Longstaff. He was introduced midway through the first-half after injuries to Fabian Schar and Joelinton.
"What a moment it was for me and my family," said Miley. "They were in the stand. Great feeling to see the ball in the back of the net. Hopefully I can score lots more.
"I haven't checked my phone yet but I'm sure everyone will be buzzing for us."
