Troost-Ekong helps Udinese edge past AC Milan

William Troost-Ekong made his 36th Serie A appearance in Udinese’ 1-0 victory over AC Milan on Sunday.

The Nigeria international, who joined the White and Blacks at the start of last summer, was a consistent performer for Igor Tudor’s men in his debut season.

Troost-Ekong made 37 appearances across all competitions to help the Stadio Friuli outfit finish 12th on the Serie A table.

The 25-year-old defender continued from where he stopped last term, helping Udinese keep a clean sheet at Dacia Arena.

Rodrigo Becao scored the match-winning goal in the 72nd minute after benefitting from Rodrigo De Pau’s assist.
