The goal continues Pulisic's hot start to the season as the American has been incredible for Milan in recent weeks. The goal is his third in Serie A this season to go with two assists, while Pulisic also scored in Milan's Champions League defeat to Liverpool midweek.
Since the start of last season, Pulisic has the joint-most goal contributions of any player in Serie A, with Sunday's finish taking him to 31 over the last year-plus. The only player with as many is Lautaro Martinez, who assisted Inter's goal on Sunday.
