Thauvin Fires Udinese Top Of Serie A

Frenchman's Stunning Strike Earns Hard-Fought Win

Udinese moved top of Serie A for the first time since 1997 after Florian Thauvin's stunning strike earned a hard-fought 1-0 win over AC Milan.

The French winger, who joined Udinese from Marseille in the summer, produced a moment of magic in the 75th minute to seal a famous victory for the Bianconeri.

Thauvin picked up the ball on the left flank and drove towards the Milan defence. He then cut inside and unleashed a powerful shot that flew into the top corner of the net.

It was a deserved victory for Udinese, who were the better side for most of the match. They created a number of chances but were denied by some excellent saves from Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

The win moves Udinese top of the Serie A table with 21 points from 9 matches. They are now one point clear of Napoli and two points ahead of AC Milan.

Thauvin's Moment Of Magic

Thauvin's goal was a moment of individual brilliance. He showed great skill and composure to create space for himself and then execute a perfect shot.

It was a goal that was worthy of winning any match. It was a goal that will live long in the memory of Udinese fans.

Udinese's Title Challenge

Udinese's victory over AC Milan has sent shockwaves through Serie A. They are now the surprise leaders of the league and are genuine title contenders.

Udinese have a young and talented squad, and they are playing with great confidence. They have a good mix of experience and youth, and they are well-coached by Andrea Sottil.

It is still early days in the Serie A season, but Udinese are showing that they have what it takes to challenge for the title. They will be a force to be reckoned with in the months to come.

AC Milan's Disappointment

AC Milan's defeat to Udinese was a major disappointment. They were expected to win the match and move top of the table.

However, they were outplayed by Udinese for most of the match. They were slow and sluggish in possession, and they created very few chances.

The defeat has left AC Milan in third place in the table, two points behind Udinese. They will need to improve their form quickly if they want to challenge for the title.
