AC Milan manager Clarence Seedorf has praised his team's performance during their 2-0 win over Sampdoria in Serie A this afternoon.

Goals in each half from Adel Taarabt and Adil Rami gave the Rossoneri a second consecutive league victory, as they moved to within five points of fifth-placed Inter Milan in the table.

"The most important thing is that the squad grows, then the results will help us a lot," he told Sky Sport Italia. "These three points will give us mental strength to take forward.

"Today we were good and compact and I must also congratulate Sinisa [Mihajlovic] for how he gets his players to play It was a good day for Milan in all aspects, in defence and in attack."

Milan are next in action when they face Juventus at the San Siro on March 2.
