Christian Pulisic continued his impressive goal-scoring form, netting in his fifth consecutive game for AC Milan and the US national team, as the Rossoneri cruised to a 3-0 victory over Lecce in Serie A on Friday.
Pulisic’s 43rd-minute strike marked his fourth goal in as many games for Milan, adding to his recent tally for the United States in their friendly against New Zealand.

Milan secured the win with a three-goal blitz shortly before halftime, starting with Álvaro Morata‘s 38th-minute header from Theo Hernández‘s free kick.
Hernández then scored a stunning goal two minutes later, and Pulisic sealed the 3-0 lead, achieving his fifth goal in seven games this season and taking his combined tally of goals and assists with Milan to 32.
This impressive record solidifies Pulisic’s position as Serie A’s top performer since joining the Rossoneri in June last year.
Despite Davide Bartesaghi’s late red card, Milan held on for the win, moving to joint top of the league with 11 points alongside Torino.
