It is time to take a look at the player ratings of the Europa League fixture between Sparta Prague and AC Milan.

With Serie A in their grasp, AC Milan flew to Generali Arena in the hope of securing the top spot on the table having already qualified for the knockout stage of the Europa League. They were facing Sparta Prague who were already out of the European competition.

It was a test for Stefano Pioli’s side as they went into the game with the absence of veteran forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, Sparta posed a threat during the match, especially in the second half. But, an early first-half goal granted the visitors what they were looking for.

The Norwegian’s solo goal claims the victory.

A lovely piece of skill from Jens Petter Hauge sealed the deal for Milan over a highly resilient local team. The 21-year-old Norway international picked up the ball from Diogo Dalot and brushed past Tomas Wiesner into the box. Hauge sent the ball past Milan Heca in the right bottom corner to take the lead for the Italians.

This victory means that Milan finishes on the top of Group H with 13 points, two points clear of second-placed Lille.
