AC Milan emerged victorious with a 2-1 win against Fiorentina, with Samuel Chukwueze showcasing his skills on the field.
The Nigerian winger, making his 18th Serie A appearance, could not add to his goal contribution this season.
Chukwueze could have secured a brace but faced formidable opposition from Fiorentina’s goalkeeper, Pietro Terracciano who denied him.
Despite his impressive performance, Chukwueze was substituted in the 73rd minute for Christian Pulisic after making a significant impact on the game.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek broke the deadlock for AC Milan in the 47th minute, silencing the home crowd.
However, Fiorentina quickly responded with Alfred Duncan netting an equalizer in the 50th minute, much to the delight of the supporters.
AC Milan, determined to clinch the victory, regained the lead just three minutes later, with Rafael Leao finding the back of the net in the 53rd minute.
The hard-fought win for AC Milan propels them six points ahead of Juventus in the Serie A standings, following Juventus’ defeat to Lazio earlier in the evening.
