AC Milan 1-3 Juventus: Player ratings as Federico Chiesa stars at San Siro

Federico Chiesa was the star of the show on Wednesday night at San Siro, as his two goals were enough to earn Juventus a crucial win over AC Milan.

The former Fiorentina man opened the scoring inside the opening 20 minutes - thanks in large part to a delightful backheel assist from Paulo Dybala - before bagging a winner on the hour mark after Davide Calabria had equalised. Substitute Weston McKennie then added a third in the 75th minute.

The result sees La Vecchia Signora end Milan's unbeaten start to the season, and move Juve to within seven points of the Serie A leaders.

JUVENTUS

1. Goalkeeper and Defenders

Wojciech Szczesny (GK) - 8/10 - Another fantastic performance from big Woj. One of the world's best.

Danilo (RB) - 7/10 - Decent performance from the Brazilian again. It's easy to see why Andrea Pirlo likes him so much.

Leonardo Bonucci (CB) - 6/10 - Really struggled to retain possession when faced with AC Milan's high press in the first half, but was superb off the ball at least.

Matthijs de Ligt (CB) - 7/10 - Solid as a rock. As always.

Gianluca Frabotta (LB) - 7/10 - Gave another good account of himself. One to watch as Alex Sandro's powers continue to wane.

2. Midfielders

Federico Chiesa (RM) - 9/10 - Scored a delightful opener inside the opening 20 minutes, and then hammered home a second on the hour mark. What a signing he's been for Juventus.

Adrien Rabiot (CM) - 3/10 - Pointless.

Rodrigo Bentancur (CM) - 3/10 - Way off the pace, as he has been all season.

Aaron Ramsey (LM) - 5/10 - Surprisingly clumsy in possession in the first half, and should've scored in the second half.

3. Forwards

Cristiano Ronaldo (ST) - 5/10 - Anonymous until the 70th minute mark when he played a wonderful through to set up McKennie for a shot on goal.

Paulo Dybala (ST) - 8/10 - Say what you want about Dybala, but when the chips are down he comes up trumps. He did so once again on Wednesday night with a backheel assist for the opener.

4. Substitutions

Weston McKennie - 8/10 - Scored AGAIN. He needs to start every single game.

Dejan Kulusevski - 7/10 - Wonderful assist for Juventus' third.

Arthur - N/A.

Federico Bernardeschi - N/A.

Merih Demiral - N/A.

AC MILAN

5. Goalkeeper and Defenders

Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK) - 7/10 - Could do nothing about Chiesa's goal, but made a brilliant stop to deny McKennie.

Diogo Dalot (RB) - 4/10 - Caught out of position on one too many occasions.

Simon Kjaer (CB) - 6/10 - Did nothing wrong during the game, and defended Ronaldo well.

Alessio Romagnoli (CB) - 3/10 - Didn't do enough to help Theo contain Chiesa, then was ripped to shreds by Kulusevski for the third.

Theo Hernandez (LB) - 5/10 - A constant threat down the flank, but really struggled to contain Chiesa.

6. Midfielders

Samuel Castillejo (RM) - 3/10 - The weak link in attack for Milan.

Hakan Calhanoglu (CM) - 6/10 - The Turkey international has become one of the most accomplished midfielders in Serie A this season. Continued his fine form in the first half on Wednesday night, but much quieter in the second.

Davide Calabria (CM) - 7/10 - Scored a wonderful equaliser near the end of the first half. Did not look out of place in midfield - to say the very, very least.

Franck Kessie (CM) - 6/10 - Did all the dirty work in midfield.

Jens Petter Hauge (LM) - 5/10 - It says a lot about Hauge that he can play in this size of a game and not look out of place.

7. Forward

Rafael Leao (ST) - 5/10 - Set the tempo for Milan's press which caused Juve's midfield and defence problems, but didn't do much when he actually had the ball.

8. Substitutions

Brahim Diaz - 4/10.

Andrea Conti - N/A.

Pierre Kalulu - N/A.

Daniel Maldini - 6/10 - yep, Paolo Maldini's son is legit.

Lorenzo Colombo - N/A.
