Samuel Chukwueze had perhaps his best start of the season in the league on Saturday night against Fiorentina, with AC Milan emerging 2-1 winners.
Pioli chose Chukwueze to be the right winger over Christian Pulisic, but it must be remembered that the latter played a lot with the USA over the international break and returned late after winning the CONCACAF Nations League for a third time.
The Nigerian responded with a very dynamic display, earning a 7 out of 10 in our player ratings with the following assessment.
“A very nice performance by the Nigerian, putting Fiorentina in trouble whenever he got on the ball. He was also involved in the first goal and perhaps should have had an assist when he set up Giroud early on. Something to build on for sure.”
