Christian Pulisic is off to a fantastic start to his new life in Milan as he scored his second Serie A goal on Saturday during AC Milan’s 4-1 victory vs. Torino.
Pulisic opened the scoring in the 33rd minute. Milan struck on a quick attack with Pulisic slipping the ball through to his former Chelsea teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The Milan midfielder did a great job to get by his defender and then put it on a plate for Pulisic.
This one wasn't as good as his amazing strike vs. Bologna, but they all count the same.

How good must have that felt for Pulisic to hear a sold-out San Siro screaming his name? After the disastrous last season at Chelsea this truly is a new era for Captain America.
Torino equalized shortly after and it looked like game on. Milan retook the lead with a controversial penalty kick and then made it 3-1 just before half with a clever goal from Theo Hernández.
Not so fast, Milan!

The second half was relatively straight forward for Milan with Giroud scoring another penalty kick.
In the 57th minute Pulisic had a great combination with Giroud and Rafael Leão to slice through the Torino defense. The USMNT No. 10 couldn’t make the most of the chance and skied his shot over the bar.
USMNT fans were also pleased to see Yunus Musah make his Serie A debut when he was substituted into the game in the 66th minute.
