AC Milan right winger Samuel Chukwueze has expressed his delight at scoring his first goal this season against Udinese.
Maduka Okoye’s Udinese suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to AC Milan at the San Siro despite having a one-man advantage.
Chukwueze, who returned from a terrible situation in Libya, made the starting lineup in the absence of Rafael Leão.
The Super Eagles winger scored his first goal of the season just thirteen minutes into the match.

Chukwueze told DAZN as revealed by Milan Posts, “It was very nice. It was a good game for the team. We defended well, and the team spirit was good.
“We needed this win. Now, we focus on Tuesday’s game. It’s a very good feeling to score and win this game.
“I think it’s very important for us, the coach, and our confidence, so we need to push for more targets.”
Chukwueze’s goal came from a beautiful movement made by Noah Okafor, who charged down the left before passing to Christian Pulisic.
The former Villarreal player then skilfully cushioned the ball into the bottom corner of Maduka Okoye's goal after the USMNT captain had securely passed it into his path.
