Piatek wipes out Higuain memory

By Football Italia staff

Krzysztof Piatek scored with both his first shots on target in a Milan jersey, more in 46 minutes than Gonzalo Higuain in 12 matches.

The Poland international only made the move last week from Genoa for €35m plus bonuses.

Rossoneri fans might be forgiven for thinking that’s a bargain.

He came off the bench against Napoli in the 0-0 Serie A draw on Saturday for the final stages.

However, Piatek was in the starting XI this evening in the Coppa Italia quarter-final (which you can watch here LIVE), also against Napoli, and put his team 2-0 up by the 27th minute.

That means Piatek has scored more goals in 46 minutes of Milan football than Higuain managed in his last 12 matches for the club.

Pipita, now at Chelsea, found the net only once in his last 12 competitive appearances for the Diavolo.
