Udinese midfielder Roberto Pereyra was delighted to prove the matchwinner at AC Milan.

Pereyra scored from the spot as Udinese won 1-0 at San Siro on Saturday.

"It's a special moment, winning was what mattered most and we did it," he said. "This team deserves it for all the sacrifices done in recent months, despite not obtaining the desired results.

"This goal is like a circle that is closing. We have many quality youngsters who need to grow and we still have to work hard to improve. Cioffi has changed the situation a bit. We have done a great match of suffering and humility. Even the fans who have come to support us this deserve this success."
