Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin was happy with the scoring return of Antonio di Natale in victory over Palermo.

Di Natale was sorely missed along with Mauricio Isla during the midweek 2-0 defeat at Napoli, their first and so far only Serie A loss of the campaign.

"Toto' is crucial for us, because he is the one who breaks down defences with his skill and pace, but many of our players had the chance to score today," said the Coach.

"Palermo played well and showed good character, but we created more opportunities and had numerous chances to double our advantage."
