Udinese coach Pasquale Marino has singled out Black Stars midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah for praise after his team's 3-1 win over Fiorention at the Fruili.
Asamoah scored his first goal in the top flight from a lightning counter-attack, and placed a precise angled shot into the bottom corner from 20 yards to open the scoring in the first half.
"Asamoah has been a nice surprise," admitted Marino.
"He's very young, we brought him here in July and have given him time to settle in.
"He is just a 20-year-old, we coaches must be sure that when we put these players in that they are ready. Otherwise, we risk burning them out."
D'Agostino doubled Udinese's lead from the spot after the break before Fiorentina got back into the game thanks to a header by Dario Dainelli.
D'Agostino got his second of the game with a real beauty, curling the ball into the top corner from a 25-yard free kick.
But the concentration is on Asamoah who is quickly proving to be the Serie A's revelation for this season.
