Festy Ebosele continues to prove Wayne Rooney and Stephen Kenny wrong by starring for Udinese, earning the penalty that beat AC Milan at the San Siro on Saturday night.

A trip by Yacine Adli on the Ireland full-back enabled Robert Pereyra to convert from the spot past Mike Maignan on 62 minutes to give Udinese a first Serie A win of the season that keeps them three points above the drop zone.
