Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi says his team deserved to take all three points against Udinese.
The Rossoneri enjoyed a convincing 2-0 home win against Andrea Stramaccioni's side with Jeremy Menez scoring both goals, his sixth and seventh of the season.
"I was hoping for such a [good] game, we were superior," Inzaghi said.
"I'm also happy for those who didn't play much this season because they showed they are quality.
"[Marco] van Ginkel and [Pablo] Armero played a great game and I'm sure the players on the bench would have also done well had I decided to involve them.
"We did well, despite missing key players. We will enjoy the win but we'll then immediately shift our focus to the Genoa game.
"It's a shame [Michael] Essien will be missing. I hope to have [Nigel] de Jong and [Sulley] Muntari available but all in all I'm happy with the team.
"It was also nice to see our captain Riccardo Montolivo make his debut."
