AC Milan failed to pick up their first win of the season on Saturday night at the Stadio Olimpico as they drew 2-2 with Lazio in a rollercoaster game, and the player ratings are understandably mixed.
The team’s overall performance was given a 6 out of 10, with head coach Paulo Fonseca receiving the same score for his management of the match and his in-game choices.
The man of the match for the Rossoneri was Rafael Leao who came on after being left out of the starting XI and made a big difference, scoring the goal to make it 2-2 after some good work down the left side.
The player who struggled most was right-back Emerson Royal, who started his first game for Milan since joining from Spurs but struggled on both of Lazio’s goals during what was a five-minute turnaround in the second half.
Among the other players to get below a 6 were Filippo Terracciano, Tijjani Reijnders and Samuel Chukwueze. There was praise for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, Noah Okafor and Tammy Abraham.
