Nigeria international William Troost-Ekong made his 14th Serie A
appearance for Udinese on Sunday afternoon, but could not prevent his
side from losing 3-1 to a Cristiano Ronaldo-led Juventus at the
Allianz Stadium.
The 26-year-old was named alongsideย Sebastien De Maio and Bram
Nuytinck in a three-man defence for the visitors, but Luca Gotti’s
wards could not keep up with the pace of the Old Lady attackers.
As per ratings from statistical ,Troost-Ekong was his side’s best
defender in the defeat, receiving a score of 6.8 mark, to place first
ahead of De Maio (6.22) and Nuytinck (6.21).
Ronaldo opened the scoring after nine minutes in Turin before adding
another in the 37th minute and defender Leonardo Bonucci added another
on the stroke of half time.
Ignacio Pussetto scored a late one for the visitors but that was not
enough, and they remain 17th in the division standings with 15 points
to show for after 16 games.
Udinese have a chance to get back to winning ways when they face
Cagliari in their last game of the year on Saturday, December 21st.
