Christian Pulisic is flying at AC Milan, with a derby goal against Inter seeing the USMNT star post a career first.
Found the target in dramatic win at San Siro
Goal contributions in five successive games
Has become a key man for the Rossoneri
WHAT HAPPENED?
The United States international has been in fine form at the start of the 2024-25 campaign. He found the target on 15 occasions last season, with that return representing a personal best for the former Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea forward.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Pulisic has found the going tough with his country of late – as a Copa America flop was followed by winless outings against Canada and New Zealand in the September international break – but the 26-year-old continues to deliver end product at club level.
DID YOU KNOW?
He opened the scoring for Milan in their dramatic 2-1 derby win over arch-rivals Inter – with golf pro girlfriend Alexa Melton on hand to witness that strike. Said effort means that Pulisic has been directly involved in a goal across five successive matches for the first time in his career.
WHAT NEXT FOR PULISIC?
Pulisic has been on target for the Rossoneri against Parma, Venezia, Liverpool and Inter, while also providing an assist in a Serie A clash with Lazio. Milan will be hoping to see that impressive run extended when they play host to Lecce on Friday.
