Watch: Christian Pulisic scores his 10th Serie A goal of the season with superb finish

A fantastic Christian Pulisic goal vs Lecce on Saturday opened the scoring of AC Milan’s 3-0 victory and set a personal record for the American.

Milan manager Stefano Pioli gave Pulisic a new role for the Lecce game as the USMNT forward started as a center attacking midfielder instead on his usual role at right wing. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Milan’s go-to No. 10, was out for the game through suspension.

Pulisic made an early impact in his new position opening the scoring in the sixth minute with a classy finish from the top of the box.
