Praise dished out to multiple performers: Player ratings for Udinese-Milan from Italian papers

AC Milan got back to winning ways on Sunday night against Udinese, beating them 2-0 to climb back into the top four.

Christian Pulisic got the first of the night early on as he collected and finished a ball over the top from Luka Modric and finished past Okoye. Omari Hutchinson opened his account for the club in the second half, in what was a rather routine victory against a struggling Udinese side.

Udinese 0-2 AC Milan: Ratings from the papers

Goncalo Ramos, Yunus Musah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek joined De Winter as the other players to get a 6, but nobody scored below a passing mark.
