AC Milan defender Thiago Silva admits he was the centre of wind-ups after his two goals against Lazio last night. The Brazilian scored at both ends of the ground for Milan's 2-1 win in Rome.

"I scored a goal for the team, for the squad. In the locker room they made fun of me saying I scored two goals!" he smiled.

"The important thing was to have played well, with personality. It's hard to play against teams like Lazio, who have quality players who shoot well, but in the end we won and this is the most important thing.

"As for me, I am happy to work well, they all speak well of me and I'm happy."
