AC Milan recorded their 18th win of the Serie A season on Sunday, with an effective victory against Empoli. The scoreline was narrow, but there were plenty of positives from the game.
After arriving in the summer mercato, the expectations for Christian Pulisic were unclear, given Milan had also spent big on Samuel Chukwueze. However, the winger has quickly emerged as one of the Rossoneri’s key players and a point of reliability.
As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes, Sunday’s performance was another showing that fits this remark. Without Rafael Leao, the responsibility fell to Pulisic to lead the attack, and as has been the case so many times this season, he delivered, as the Rossoneri won 1-0.
The deciding goal from the game, scored by Pulisic, means that he has now reached 10 goals for the season across all competitions, and he continues to provide certainty in the attack for Pioli, where in the past, there have been concerns about the balance of frontline.
The American is firmly on track to have the best season of his career, which is impressive for his debut season with the Rossoneri, and given he is only 25 years old, he will keep improving and could cement his role in the side for years to come.
