AC Milan secured an important victory away from home against RB Salzburg last night thanks to Alphadjo Cisse's beautiful hat-trick and a goal (finally from Gonçalo Ramos).
The best player on the pitch was without doubt Cisse who deserved the rating set at 9 by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Omari Hutchinson earned himself a deserved rating set at 8 as he provided the cross for Cisse’s opening goal, came close to making it 2-0 on two occasions and created further opportunities down the right. He was able to push high up the pitch with Tomori covering behind him, making full use of his quality and pace. A performance worth revisiting in Serie A.
Rabiot earned a rating of 8. He delivered a strong performance in midfield, providing an assist and playing a part in both the first and second goals. He added energy, precise passing and complete control in the middle of the park, driving the team forward throughout.
Then, Koni De Winter, Davide Bartesaghi, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Ardon Jashari have all provided positive performances and earned themselves ratings of 7 each.
Goalkeeper Mike Maignan enjoyed a clean sheet and was not threatened a lot by RB Salzburg's offensive attempts. Rating? 6.5. As for Fikayo Tomori's first appearance for AC Milan this season, it went well: he also earned a rating of 6.5 as well as Strahinja Pavlovic and goal scorer Gonçalo Ramos.
Francesco Camarda did not find the net. It was a difficult night for him and received a rating of only 6, same as Christian Pulisic and Luka Modric.
Who was the worst AC Milan player during the away 0-4 victory against RB Salzburg?
Filippo Terracciano. Receives a red card after a reckless push to stop Schmid, who was through on goal. The defensive gap is on his side, making him doubly responsible. Comes on with the result already secured but fails to prevent further damage.
Amorim's rating?
A rating of 8 for Ruben Amorim. A convincing victory, both in terms of the scoreline and the quality of football, with flashes of attractive play and a clean sheet. The opposition's limited quality certainly helps, but his Milan delivers an impressive performance. The 1–1 draw in Reggio (against Sassuolo) is now behind them, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
