Rafael Leao matches bizarre Andriy Shevchenko benchmark, but AC Milan’s title hopes suffer fresh blow

on

 

AC Milan star Rafael Leao this evening joined club legend Andriy Shevchenko as only the 2nd member of a somewhat unusual club, owing to his latest Rossoneri goal.

Leao was back in action a short time ago, featuring from the off as Milan welcomed Udinese to the San Siro for a crunch Serie A showdown.

And the Portuguese international, in the midst of a fine spell of form in front of goal, managed to find the net for the 3rd time in four outings across all competitions, courtesy of a superb finish on the half-hour mark:

The latest goal netted by the Rossoneri’s gifted wide-man, meanwhile, as alluded to above, has too seen Leao etch his name into the history books of the club.

As per statisticians Opta, the 22-year-old has joined Andriy Shevchenko as just the 2nd player to ever find the net on all seven days of the week in Serie A whilst donning Milan’s colours:

Udogie secures a point

Unfortunately for Leao and Milan alike, though, his 11th goal of the season did not prove enough to guide the Diavolo to all three points on Friday night.

This comes with a controversial finish on the part of Destiny Udogie having seen Udinese depart the San Siro with a share of the spoils, in a 1-1 stalemate.

Pioli’s Milan, in turn, have seen their Scudetto hopes dealt a considerable blow, aware that a victory on the part of city neighbours Inter over Genoa this evening will see the Nerazzurri join them at the Italian top-flight’s summit, whilst in possession of a game in hand.
