Christian Pulisic’s first season with AC Milan continues to be full of milestones, the latest coming on Sunday as he scored his 10th goal in all competitions for the club.
The U.S. men’s national team star scored the game’s lone goal in Milan’s 1-0 win over Empoli, giving his side the lead in the 40th minute. Noah Okafor made a run down the left flank and into the box, sending a pass to the top of the box where Pulisic had made his own run. From there, Pulisic took one touch and scored with relative ease.
Pulisic now has 10 goals in 37 games across all competitions, including two in the last two games. He scored on Thursday in the first leg of Milan’s UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie against Slavia Praha, when the Italian side won 4-2.
Sunday’s goal continues a prolific start to life with Milan, a club he joined because he needed playing time. Pulisic spent four seasons in England with Chelsea before his move to Italy, but between many managerial changes and injuries, he was unable to become a consistent player and decided to leave when his contract expired last summer.
