It's tough to find any new superlatives to describe our number 8 but his display in Verona was truly special. Tonali bagged a brace - he also had a goal disallowed - and put in a complete performance in midfield. He scored both goals to turn it around against Hellas after the Rossoneri had found themselves a goal down.
He certainly left an indelible mark on a win that brings us one step closer to realising the potential Scudetto dream. Tonali was the fans' MVP at the Bentegodi, picking up over 70% of the votes, ahead of Leão who assisted both of Sandro's goals.
Tonali has scored five goals in the league this season, four of those have come away from home after bagging in Bergamo and Roma. He scored the vital goal at the Olimpico against Lazio to give the Rossoneri three vital points in this thrilling run-in; since then, AC Milan have started to believe.
Sandro played the full game, put in a complete performance and notched up some important stats, with 27 positive passes, five recoveries, two shots on target - for the two goals - and two long balls. He dominated the midfield and leant safety and security to his teammates and his coach. He's proper AC Milan. Let's have a round of applause for a lad of just 22 years, who already looks the part in men's football.
