Samuel Chukwueze was once again the target of fans of AC Milan after his team let slip a two goal lead to draw 2-2 against Lecce in the Italian Serie A yesterday, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
With Christian Pulisic unavailable, the summer signing from Villarreal was handed a start and played for almost 80 minutes before he was subbed off. His major contribution was setting up Tijjani Reijnders for the goal that put them two goals up just ten minutes before the half time break.
They however conceded twice in the second half to draw the game and even needed an intervention from VAR not to lose all three points with a late Lecce goal ruled out after a review.
Frustrated fans of the team targeted the 24 year old Nigerian who Milan signed for €20m plus €8m in bonuses, and they acquired a player who had the third-most successful dribbles in LaLiga last season behind Vinicius and Nico Williams.
Moreover, they got a player who had 11 goal contributions, while he had 24 across all competitions. That number he is yet to replicate at the Italian side with his two big misses against Borrusia Dortmund a sigh of the confidence crisis he is currently battling.
Yesterday, his contribution was heavily criticised with the Nigerian the only forward in the team, who is yet to find the back of the net so far this season.
