ESSIEN SHINES IN MILAN DEBUTE



AC Milan humbled in Essien debutGhanaian midfielder Micheal Essien was in superb form for AC Milan when the Rosseneri lost 3-1 away at Napoli on Saturday night.

The 31year old who played full throttle of the game gave a good account of himself as he paired up with Dutch man De Jong in midfield, but could not help Milan avoid defeat at the Stadio Sao Paulo.

The midfielder who completed 76 passes had a shot on goal in the 65th min after taking in a right footed volley just on the edge of the box but was timely saved by Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina.

Milan new signing Adel Taraabt opened the scoring just 4min into the game before Napoli midfielder Gokar Inlar equalized with a stunner 6min later. 

Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuian added two more goals in the second half to ensure the Rosseneri’s went back to San Siro without picking any points.

Essien will be hoping to keep his fine form and feature next week in Milan’s next fixture at home.
