Tuttosport: Milan player ratings from Empoli win – Kessie and Romagnoli lead the way

AC Milan’s players drew collective praise from Tuttosport for their performance during last night’s win at Empoli to close out the year.

Franck Kessie’s first half double had Milan 2-1 up at the break and then a free-kick from Alessandro Florenzi opened up a two-goal lead while Theo Hernandez made it 4-1 before a late consolation from Pinamonti.

Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports how Kessie was the best player on the field for Milan as he got a 7.5 and ‘confirmed his quality’. The performance of Alessio Romagnoli was also worthy of a 7 as he looked very solid at the back.

Alessandro Florenzi, Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer all looked in better shape and got a 6.5 for their efforts, while other members of the starting XI such as Theo Hernandez, Alexis Saelemaekers and Olivier Giroud got a 6.

The disappointments came from Junior Messias on the right who got a 5.5, while Fikayo Tomori and Tiemoue Bakayoko got a 5.
