Pulisic Keeps Producing

Winger Shows His Quality in Milan's Dominant Win

Christian Pulisic continues to prove his importance to AC Milan, even during a Serie A goal drought. The American star delivered an assist during Saturday's 3-0 victory over Empoli.

Pulisic's standout statistic remains truly impressive: he is currently the only Serie A player since the start of the 2023/24 season to record at least 20 goals and 15 assists in all competitions, according to Opta. Despite not finding the net in his last six Serie A matches, he demonstrated why he remains Milan's top scorer with a ‘brilliant’ assist to Tijjani Reijnders right before halftime. A cross from the right wing was challenged by Pulisic and Mattia Viti. The ball bounced off his back and fell to Reijnders, who volleyed it home.

Throughout the foggy contest, Pulisic was a constant threat all evening, creating the most chances in the match with four. Alongside Pulisic, fellow USMNT player Yunus Musah made his mark, starting on the right wing and contributing four tackles. Alvaro Morata opened the scoring early, and Reijnders sealed the victory with another in the second half. The calendar roles on with Coppa Italia on Tuesday.
