Gennaro Gattuso has lauded Krzysztof Piatek’s effort as the forward netted a brace in AC Milan’s 3-1 win over Atalanta.
The Rossoneri are currently unbeaten in the last seven matches in the Serie-A and this victory has further tightened their hold in the top four. Atalanta made a strong start with Remo Freuler opened the scoring for the home side.
But a sublime volley from the January arrival reduced the parity just before the break. A creamy finish from Hakan Calhonaglu and a second from Piatek sealed the tie.
Milan signed the Polish forward as a replacement of Gonzalo Higuain who moved to Chelsea in the winter transfer window. The youngster took very little time to find the rhythm at the San Siro and has found the net on six occasions since securing a move to the Italian giants.
Gattuso said, “In seven to eight months [in Serie A] everyone has become accustomed to these goals.
“Piatek is a player that lives to score goals. He is doing well with his movements and he has superior technical skills.
“We are happy to have him with us.
“In general, I don’t want to hear individuals spoken about, but the group. Results are helping us, they’re bringing enthusiasm. We need to continue like this and work with a sense of calm.”
