Christian Pulisic got himself back on the scoresheet for AC Milan on Saturday with a sensational goal during his side’s 3-1 Serie A victory vs. Frosinone.
The assist came from an unlikely source as goalkeeper Mike Maignan supplied the ball for Pulisic.
In the 50th minute the USMNT No. 10 doubled the lead for the hosts and displayed his incredible ball control. Maignan looped a ball over the Frosinone defense and Pulisic expertly controlled the ball then finished with a clever chipped shot.

This was Pulisic’s first goal for Milan since Oct. 7 and his fifth on the season. The American had an exhilarating start with his new club but had slowed down in the past two months with a minor injury and momentary goal drought.
Pulisic wasn’t the only USMNT player that featured for Milan as Yunus Musah clocked in a full 90-minute performance.
Milan have been hit hard with the injury bug including their forwards as Rafael Leão, Olivier Giroud and Noah Okafor were all unavailable for Saturday’s game.
Luka Jovic filled in at striker and opened the scoring shortly before halftime.
