Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu maintained his impressive form for his struggling Udinese in a 3-1 heavy defeat at Inter.

The talented midfielder shone at the middle of the pitch for the Zebratas headlined by his delicious assist to Cyril Theareu at the Guiseppe Meazza.

The Stade Fruili crowd favourite again illuminated his ailing side before late strikes from the Nerrazuris overturned the scoreline for Roberto Mancini’s men.

Agyemang Badu, who is enjoying his most prolific season as a professional, sumptuously teed up Cyril for the opening strike just 9 minutes into the game to put Udinese ahead.

The former Kumasi Asante Kotoko midfielder then resorted to his usual end to end runs in the opening half of the pitch until Stephanie Jovetic pulled parity for the host with 10 minutes to recess.

The Montegro hitman, however, doubled his personal tally on the 75th minutes after been put through by the workaholic Jonathan Biabiany.

Agyemang Badu then came close to levelling matters for Udinese with his trademark but for the army of defenders shielding Samir Handanovic in the post for Inter Milan.

Substitute Edder Martins then clipped the wings of the visitors with the third for his side on the stroke of full time to win the clash on a 3-1 score.

Badu has since returned an impressive four goals in his 31 appearances for Udinese amidst their indifferent form in the Serie A.
