Pulisic Helped Save Milan

Winger Scored the Equalizer as Milan Came Back to Beat Como

Christian Pulisic continued his remarkable scoring form on Saturday, finding the net in AC Milan's 2-1 comeback victory over Como at the San Siro. The American star's 15th goal of the season helped the Rossoneri secure their second consecutive comeback win following inconsistent results.

The 26-year-old has now equaled his career-best goal tally in all competitions, achieving the milestone in just 38 appearances compared to the 50 games it took last season. Pulisic's consistent performance makes him the first Milan player to score 15-plus goals in their first two seasons since Zlatan Ibrahimovic accomplished the feat in 2010-2012.

After Como took the lead through Lucas Da Cunha's 33rd-minute strike, Milan fans expressed frustration with loud jeers at halftime. The home side's fortunes changed in the second half when Pulisic swept home the equalizer from a tight angle after receiving a delicate pass from Tijjani Reijnders.

"I can't give you a reason; we want to start the game stronger, and I don't know why this season we're always in trouble in the first half. The important thing is to do better in the second," Pulisic said after the match. "We have to be more positive because we have won two games in a row. We have the chance to get where we want, but we think game by game."

Reijnders later secured the winner in the 75th minute, converting a backheeled pass from Tammy Abraham to complete Milan's comeback. The victory propelled Milan to seventh place in the Serie A standings, offering momentum before the international break.

Following the match, Pulisic expressed his commitment to Milan amid reports of a new contract extending his stay until 2028, with an option for 2029. "Milan and my teammates gave me confidence. It's a pleasure to play here, and I want to score more goals and provide more assists. This club gives me a lot of confidence, and it's a pleasure to be here every day. I want to continue here," the American winger stated.

With 47 goal contributions (30 goals, 17 assists) since joining Milan, Pulisic has firmly established himself as one of the club's key performers.
