Deposed Serie A champions Juventus lost 0-3 at home to AC Milan to drop out of the top four with only three league games to go.

Brahim Diaz opened the scoring for AC Milan and also won a penalty, which Franck Kessie failed to convert, though. But Juventus failed to get going, and susbstitute Ante Rebic doubled Milan's advantage on the night after receiving an assist from Ismael Bennacer.

Fikayo Tomori put the game to bed as he headed in Milan's third of the game after a superb free-kick from Hakan Calhanoglu.

On that note, let's have a look at the player ratings of both teams in the game.


Juventus Player Ratings

Wojciech Szczesny - 6.5/10

Wojciech Szczesny saved a penalty but conceded thrice against AC Milan. The Juventus custodian made quite a few good saves, but that was not enough for the Bianconeri from crashing to a heavy home defeat on the night.

Alex Sandro - 6.5/10

Alex Sandro did well to contain Alexis Saelemaekers on various occasions. The Juventus player made 12 recoveries, won five duels and made two clearances all game.

Giorgio Chiellini - 5.5/10

Giorgio Chiellini had a game to forget against AC Milan. The veteran Juventus defender committed a foul on Diaz that led to a penalty. Moreover, he never looked comfortable at the back and struggled all game.

Matthijs de Ligt - 6.5/10

Matthijs de Ligt put in a solid shift at the back. The Dutch international took charge in the Juventus penalty box and managed to keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic quiet.

Juan Cuadrado - 6.5/10

Juan Cuadrado looked like the only source of attack for a lacklustre Juventus team on the night. The Colombian created six chances, but none of them led to a goal, though.

Federico Chiesa - 6/10

Federico Chiesa looked far from his best, as he endured a difficult time against Davide Calabria. The on-loan Fiorentina star also gave away a careless free-kick, which led to AC Milan's opener on the night.

Adrien Rabiot - 6/10

Adrien Rabiot did well to provide an option for Juventus higher up the pitch but looked lost for ideas moving forward. The Frenchman was astute physically, but his lack of vision created a disconnect between the Bianconeri midfield and attack.

Rodrigo Bentancur - 6.5/10

Rodrigo Bentancur had a decent outing for Juventus. The Uruguayan international was good defensively but failed to provide a cutting edge in the final third. He failed to create anything substantial in attack, as he looked too cautious moving forward.

Weston McKennie - 6/10

Weston McKennie lost his midfield duel to Franck Kessie as Juventus' US international could not leave his mark on the game. The Bianconeri struggled in the centre, as they were outnumbered by Milan on various occasions.

Alvaro Morata - 5/10

Alvaro Morata was non-existent for Juventus on the night. The Spaniard was nowhere to be seen and provided Cristiano Ronaldo little support.

Cristiano Ronaldo - 6/10

Cristiano Ronaldo looked isolated, as Juventus failed to create chances for him to latch onto. The Portuguese livened up after the introduction of Dejan Kulusevski and Paulo Dybala, but it was too late for Juventus by then.


Ratings of Juventus substitutes

Dejan Kulusevski - 6/10

Dejan Kulusevski tried everything to make something happen for Juventus, but that was not to be on the night.

Paulo Dybala - 6/10

Dybala combined well with Ronaldo after coming on but failed to impact proceedings for Juventus.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - 7/10

Gianluigi Donnarumma was a mere spectator for AC Milan all game, as Juventus failed to trouble the big Italian. The Bianconeri created a lot of opportunities but were unable to test the Milan custodian, as they registered just one shot on target.

Davide Calabria - 7.5/10

Davide Calabria put in a massive shift on the right flank. The 24-year-old won three tackles, made seven recoveries and won six duels on the night.

Simon Kjaer - 7.5/10

Simon Kjaer was rock solid at the back for AC Milan. The Danish international was immaculate with his positioning and foiled everything that came down the centre. Kjaer made six recoveries, won three duels and made six clearances against Juventus.

Fikayo Tomori - 8.5/10

Fikayo Tomori had a sensational outing. The Englishman was solid defensively and capped a wonderful performance with a goal.

He made seven clearances, recovered possession for his side nine times, won four duels and made three interceptions. Tomori latched on to a free-kick by Calhanoglu for AC Milan's third of the night.

Theo Hernandez - 8/10

Theo Hernandez had a great game against Juventus. The Spaniard was astute offensively as well as defensively. Hernandez was a menace every time he moved high up the pitch. He won ten duels, made three clearances, completed three dribbles and made three recoveries for AC Milan.

Franck Kessie - 7/10

Franck Kessie dominated the centre of the park. He missed a penalty that could have come back to haunt the Rossoneri, but eventually, that was not to be.

Ismael Bennacer - 7.5/10

Ismael Bennacer put in a composed performance alongside Kessie. The Algerian assumed control in midfield and did not allow Juventus any chance. Bennacer also bagged an assist when he set up Rebic for AC Milan's second of the night.

Hakan Calhanoglu - 8/10

Hakan Calhanoglu started the game slowly but soon got into his stride. The Turkish international tried to capitalise on spaces left behind by Juventus. He also set up Tomori from a set-piece.

Brahim Diaz - 8.5/10

Brahim Diaz proved to be a massive surprise on the night. The Real Madrid loanee broke the deadlock for AC Milan with a brilliant goal. Moreover, Diaz also won a penalty, which the Rossoneri failed to convert, though. It was a shame to see Diaz leave the pitch with an injury.

Alexis Saelemaekers - 7.5/10

Alexis Saelemaekers had a great outing against Juventus. The Belgian threatened to pull clear every time he was afforded a pocket of space. He tried to bamboozle Juventus's backline all game as he kept switching positions.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 7/10

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not much involved in the game and looked isolated up front. But the Swede engaged well with Juventus to allow his teammates more space up front. Ibrahimovic left the pitch injured, which is worrisome for AC Milan.

Ante Rebic - 7/10

Ante Rebic made a massive difference after coming on. The Croatian scored a great goal to double AC Milan's advantage. Rebic made life miserable for Juventus, who looked weary by the time he came on.

Rade Krunic - 6.5/10

Rade Krunic did exactly what was asked of him. His composure in the centre of the park allowed AC Milan to take control of the game.

Diogo Dalot - N/A

Diogo Dalot came on too late to earn a rating.

Soualiho Miete - N/A

Soualiho Miete did not have any impact on the game.
