James Milner continued his dominance in pre-season as he won the Liverpool annual lactate test for the seventh successive season on Monday.
The 36-year-old was up against some of the Reds' fittest youngsters but still managed to come out on top, as per The Sun. The Reds put their players returning for pre-season through the gruelling test each year, which measures players' lactic acid levels as they run over an increasing distance. Those with the highest levels are knocked out as the test continues.
Despite going into his 21st season in professional football, Milner was the last man standing yet again, and has won the test in every year he has been at the club since his move in 2015. Joe Gomez was the last player to keep up with Milner but he was not able to keep up with the former Manchester City and Aston Villa man.
