AC Milan Thump Udinese, Mike Maignan 'Conscious' After Head Clash
AC Milan kept their hopes of European football alive on Friday by sweeping aside Udinese 4-0, as goalkeeper Mike Maignan was stretchered off the field following a sickening clash of heads with teammate Alex Jimenez. Rafael Leao, Strahinja Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders were on the mark for Milan who stay ninth but are four points behind Lazio who sit sixth, in the Conference League spot, and face local rivals Roma on Sunday. Milan were already two ahead through Leao and Pavlovic's strikes just before half-time when Maignan came charging out of his goal to clear the ball but ended up headbutting Jimenez.
