Chukwueze gets above average rating in Milan derby loss

Despite coming from the bench, Nigeria international, Samuel Chukwueze still earned a pass mark in AC Milan's derby defeat to Inter Milan, which effectively crowned Inter the Scudetto, reports www.sportsunlimited.ng.

AC Milan once again let down by its big names as the club lost a sixth derby in a row to Inter.

La Gazzetta dello Sport has profiled Milan players' performances in the game at San Siro.

Chukwueze might not have been considered as one of Milan's big player but his rating in the few mimutes he played saw him emerging amongst the best performers for the Pioli side.

The best player on the field for Milan, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport was Matteo Gabbia as he was given a 6, while the player who struggled the most was the rather anonymous Ruben Loftus-Cheek who got a 4.5.

Yunus Musah and Yacine Adli were each given a 6 for relatively bright displays, while Samuel Chukwueze came off the bench and tried to make things happen so he was awarded the same score.

From there, however, things start to go downhill. Mike Maignan and Ismael Bennacer were given a 5.5, then Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Tijjani Reijnders, Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Olivier Giroud scored half a point less.

The final negative note was Theo Hernandez, who got the same score as Loftus-Cheek for a very erratic performance that ended with a straight red card for an altercation.
