The winger got the opening goal in the early stages as he picked up possession on the left corner of the box and curled an effort that dipped and went in off the crossbar, giving the hosts the perfect start.

Not only that, but Pulisic got an assist to his name too. Leading a counter-attack down the centre, he played the ball to Folarin Balogun on the left who found the bottom corner with a low angled shot.

After laying down a challenge to the team in his press conference before the game, the Milan winger certainly responded with a performance where he led from the front.
