Christian Pulisic had one of his best performances yet in an AC Milan shirt on Saturday scoring in the Rossoneri’s 2-0 victory against Lazio. The Pulisic goal vs Lazio was a powerful strike on the half volley.
The first half was relatively quiet for Pulisic and Milan as Lazio sat deep and chances were few and far between. The second half saw the game come to life and culminated in Rafael Leão finding Pulisic for the opening goal in the 60th minute.

This brings his Serie A goal tally to three in seven games.
Pulisic nearly scored an identical goal in the 77th minute when he found open space in the box but had his shot on target denied.
Captain America was one of Milan’s best players on the day creating chances, being smart with the ball and good movement off the ball. He received a standing ovation from the Milan faithful when he was substituted in the 82nd minute.
Yunus Musah also had a strong performance on Saturday. Pulisic nearly set up Musah for a goal when he found his USMNT teammate in the box. The American midfielder had a great spin and strike but was denied by Lazio’s Ivan Provedel.

Musah was on the bench but was forced into the game to replace Ruben Loftus-Cheek who picked up an injury in the first half.
Milan’s next goal saw Leão bag a second assist with Noah Okafor finishing comfortably.

The result sees Milan go top of the table for the moment as Inter play later Saturday and can take back the No. 1 spot.
