CHUKWUEZE IS THE MVP FROM AC MILAN v LECCE

From the first to the last minute, he was a constant threat to the opposition: wide on the right, always ready to set off on a dribbling run, skipping past defenders. He made the first goal - with his second assist in the league - and created more chances than all 22 players on the pitch combined at San Siro. This is what has led Samuel Chukwueze to win the MVP award following AC Milan v Lecce.

The Rossoneri number 21 convinced the majority of the fans, ahead of the other two goalscorers on the day (Pulisic and Leão), to vote for him on the AC Milan Official App. For Sammy, it is his first award of the season and rewards the excellent form he is in, following the late goal in Verona and a great performance last time out against Fiorentina.

It could be seen from the opening 1-on-1, where he got past Lecce's Gallo, that it was to be the Nigerian winger's day: a quick burst away led to his low cross for the opener by Pulisic, the first of five goalscoring opportunities he created over the course of the match. It was more than anyone else, proving his full involvement across the entire 90 minutes.

"He has confidence, he is positive and believes in what he is doing," Coach Pioli said about him after the match. Chukwueze's growth is constant, which can make him become a leading figure, in what will hopefully be a great season finale for AC Milan and for him. Well done, Sammy, with the hope it is the first of a long series!
