Ruben Loftus-Cheek only played 65 minutes for AC Milan against Roma but was still named the MOTM. The Englishman impressed and was only taken off because of the Rossoneri’s red card.
Milan clinched yet another win last night as they prevailed 2-1 against the Giallorossi. In short, the Rossoneri have started the season incredibly well and the new signings have been important, including Loftus-Cheek.
As per today’s edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport (see photo below), the former Chelsea man was the best at 7.5/10. He was very technical and used his physique to control the midfield, but also didn’t shy away from making his way into the box – as seen when he won the penalty.
The likes of Davide Calabria, Rade Krunic, Rijjani Reijnders, Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao were just behind the midfielder at 7/10. The latter two were crucial as they scored the goals but also combined well with the rest of the team.
Malick Thiaw, Theo Hernandez and Christian Pulisic were also above average with a rating of 6.5. Mike Maignan and the four substitutes Pierre Kalulu, Tommaso Pobega, Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze passed at 6.
Fikayo Tomori was the big flop, as expected, with a 5 as he was simply too rash despite being on a yellow card.
