Player Ratings: Fiorentina 2-1 AC Milan – Theo and Tomori embarrassing | OneFootball

AC Milan’s winning run in the league came to an end on Sunday evening as Fiorentina prevailed 2-1 at Stadio Artemio Franchi. Several players could have done a lot better, with a couple of fatal mistakes, and below are the player ratings for the Rossoneri.

If you haven’t already, make sure to check out how we decide the player ratings. From the scale to what affects the rating, we have compiled everything there.

Starting XI

Maignan (7): He did his job tonight, saving a penalty and distributing the ball well with his feet. He could do nothing about the goal and certainly has the right to give his teammates a scolding.

Emerson Royal (5.5): Some misplaced passes and struggles in the duels, but it wasn’t completely terrible from him, at least not compared to some of his teammates. Not enough for a pass here, but he wasn’t the main player to blame.

Gabbia (6): The academy product won the penalty that Abraham missed and put up a good fight in the duels with Kean. He was hung out to dry by Tomori on the second goal and was clearly the better of the two tonight.

Tomori (4.5): It was a fatal mistake by the Englishman, completely misjudging De Gea’s long ball, and Fiorentina made the most of it. He was also rather shaky in the other duels and thus didn’t impress tonight.

Hernandez (4.5): He may have got the assist for Pulisic, but the latter did 90% of the work. Before that, he caused a penalty (very cheap, I know) and missed one as well. His strike wasn’t terrible but also not fantastic, not to mention that he got lucky not to cause another penalty later on. The worst part, however, was getting a red card after the game for shouting at the referee. It remains to be seen how long he will be suspended, probably two games (Udinese and Bologna next). A horrible birthday for him.

Pulisic (7 – MOTM): He was almost always available on the right flank and combined well with his teammates. The finish on the goal was just fantastic and he deserves a lot of praise for that. Not sure why Fonseca thought it was good to sub him off.

Fofana (6): It wasn’t always spectacular, but he won several 50-50 duels in the centre of the park and made life difficult for Gudmundsson on several occasions. He can still improve with his passing in attack, but there is no doubting what he brings to the team defensively.

Reijnders (5.5): The Dutchman won the penalty after a run into the box, but honestly we expect to see a lot more from him. He struggled a bit at the start of the game and while he grew into it, he never really had that x-factor that we often see him have.

Leao (5.5): He had two good runs, one which led to a powerful shot and another that nearly set up Pulisic for 2-1, but aside from that he struggled to make a difference for Milan. Still, given those two chances, it’s a bit strange that he was subbed off.

Abraham (5): If you are going to take the second penalty, after the first was missed, you better make sure you score. Especially when another player wants to take it (Pulisic). Abraham failed and also missed two other good chances in that second half, so it’s not good enough.

Morata (5.5): He had to drop down far more than he was comfortable with, it was quite clear, and he was never really 100% in the combination play with his teammates.

Substitutes

Okafor (5.5): The substitution may have been strange, but the Swiss international got past his man a couple of times. That being said, no real impact.

Chukwueze (5.5): One good shot after coming on, and then a great run which was finished with a horrendous shot. Such a mixed bag, as is usually the case for him.
