There were a number of impressive performances during AC Milan’s win over Roma on Friday night, with Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez and Ruben Loftus Cheek’s among them.
All scored highly in our player ratings, starting with Theo who was high-speed train down the left flank. With slightly better end product, he could have increased his rating as well. However, his importance is very evident.

Loftus-Cheek dominated the midfield with his physique at times and really stepped up in this big game. He won the penalty for Milan after a nice run and continued to make himself available before being subbed off in the 65th minute (due to Tomori’s red card).

Finally, was a constant threat to the Roma defence and ended up scoring the very decisive goal for Milan, in a very acrobatic manner as well. He was just as good as the midfield trio, but also deserving of the MOTM.
