American Players Abroad

This Thanksgiving PSV will be thankful for their American players as United States men’s national team stars Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi recorded three goals in eight minutes for a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory vs. Shakhtar Donetsk.

Tillman, who started the game, recorded a brace with goals in the 87th minute and 90th minute to bring PSV level. The 22-year-old’s first goal saw him sneak the ball across the line at the near post with goal-line technology helping determine the goal.

Christian Pulisic’s incredible form this season was on full display during AC Milan’s 3-2 Champions League victory against Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday. A Pulisic goal vs Bratislava opened the scoring in the 21st minute.

The United states men’s national team star was used as a substitute during the 0-0 draw against Juventus on Saturday as he wasn’t fully fit after the international break. On Tuesday he was back in the starting XI and doing what he does best… scoring goals.

Tammy Abraham found the American with a great ball that got Pulisic 1-on-1 with the goalkeeper. 

Soccer legend and senior AC Milan advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave United States men’s national team star Christian Pulisic tons of praise in a recent interview with the UEFA Champions League magazine.

The Ibrahimovic Pulisic comments saw the Swedish icon compliment the American soccer star on his incredible form with the Italian club.

Pulisic is in his second season with Milan and is by far in the best form of his career. The 26-year-old forward has 12 goal contributions (seven goals, five assists) in just 15 games for Milan across all competitions this season.

A Christian Pulisic assist vs Real Madrid opened the scoring of AC Milan’s surprising 3-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Pulisic’s corner kicks have garnered attention this season after he scored an Olimpico goal against Club Brugge in Milan’s previous Champions League game.

BOURNEMOUTH — Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson got on the scoresheet as the hosts held on for a stunning 2-1 victory over champions Manchester City on Saturday, ending the visitors' unbeaten streak in the Premier League at 32 games.

The loss dropped Pep Guardiola's City — who had not lost in the league since a 1-0 defeat by Aston Villa on Dec. 6 — to second in the table with 23 points after 10 matches, two points behind Liverpool. Andoni Iraola's side climbed to eighth on 15 points with their first victory over City in the club's history.

Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah scored both of Juventus’ goals in a 2-2 draw vs. Parma in Serie A on Wednesday. The McKennie and Weah goals saw the latter assisting the first goal and scoring the next.

Americans are thriving in Serie A this season as Juventus’ duo proved key in their comeback draw against Parma. Juve conceded just three minutes into the contest to the shock of the home fans inside Allianz Stadium.

Ricardo Pepi scored twice and forced an own goal during a rare start for Eredivisie giants PSV on Saturday in a dominant 6-0 win. An incredible Pepi volley set the tone in the ninth minute as the USMNT striker had an acrobatic finish.

Pepi is typically PSV’s backup striker behind the veteran Luuk de Jong but was named in the starting XI for the second time in the league this season.

The 21-year-old sent a message with this spectacular finish.

The Christian Pulisic Olimpico goal vs. Club Brugge saw the AC Milan star find the back of the net in the most peculiar of ways.

Milan were on the backfoot in the first half as a feisty Brugge side had several quality chances to take the lead. The Italian giants needed something special and who better to count on than their man in form, Pulisic.

In the 34th minute Pulisic swung in a corner kick that somehow avoided everyone and crossed the line. A Brugge defender tried to clear the ball but was too late.
