Liverpool manager Klopp: Milner sets benchmark

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has lauded James Milner as an “exceptional" talent after his performance against Leicester City on Saturday.

The 33-year-old provided a delightful assist for Sadio Mane and then scored the winning penalty deep in stoppage time.

“No, that's why he has [played] like 7,680 Premier League games!

“That's true [that he's unique]. Exceptional, exceptional.

“It just sets the benchmark, that you're 33 and doing things like this. Obviously age is no issue."
