MILAN — A Timothy Weah assist to Manuel Locatelli secured a 1-0 win for Juventus at AC Milan in Serie A on Sunday. Locatelli's second-half strike came after the hosts were reduced to 10 men in the first half when defender Malick Thiaw received a direct red card.

Serie A leaders AC Milan host third-placed Juventus on Sunday in a massive game in Italy, which will also attract plenty of attention from across the Atlantic, with four American players involved.
Christian Pulisic had one of his best performances yet in an AC Milan shirt on Saturday scoring in the Rossoneri’s 2-0 victory against Lazio. The Pulisic goal vs Lazio was a powerful strike on the half volley.
The first half was relatively quiet for Pulisic and Milan as Lazio sat deep and chances were few and far between. The second half saw the game come to life and culminated in Rafael Leão finding Pulisic for the opening goal in the 60th minute.
The person/people in charge of running Napoli’s TikTok account are in hot water after a video they posted making fun of their star striker Victor Osimhen angered the player. The Osimhen TikTok video insulted the 24-year-old for missing a penalty and now the player’s agent is threatening legal action against the club.
This was the original video posted by Napoli about Victor Osimhen… and then deleted.
Christian Pulisic got an assist and helped set up another goal during AC Milan’s 3-1 victory vs. Cagliari in Serie A action on Wednesday. The Pulisic assist vs Cagliari is his first in a Milan shirt.
Wednesday’s game looked better for Pulisic after a string of so-so performances. Milan manager Stefano Pioli rotated his players and shifted Pulisic from the right wing to the left wing as Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud were rested.
Here was the moment in the 60th minute when Pulisic set up Ruben Loftus-Cheek for a long-range goal to make it 3-1.
Weston McKennie made his 100th appearance for Juventus on Saturday during the club’s 3-1 victory vs. Lazio. He was involved in all three of Juve’s goals and provided a beauty of an assist on the third.
The American midfielder was coming off fantastic performances for the United States men’s national team and kept that form going.
Juventus's France midfielder Paul Pogba has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for a banned substance, Italy's national anti-doping (NADO Italia) tribunal said on Monday. The Pogba steroids inquiry could lead to a 2- to 4-year ban if he is found guilty of doping.
The test, performed after Juve's 3-0 Serie A season-opening victory at Udinese on Aug. 20, detected testosterone, a hormone that increases athletes' endurance.

A fantastic save denied Christian Pulisic his third goal of the season as AC Milan defeated Roma 2-1 in Serie A on Friday. The USMNT star played 75 minutes in the Italian capital in a relatively quiet night compared to his first two games.
Pulisic’s best chance of the game came in the 22nd minute. The American winger made a great run to get by his defender and get on the end of a beautiful cross from Theo Hernández.
MilanTV commentator Mauro Suma is loving the arrival of Christian Pulisic to AC Milan more than anyone else. The Italian commentator has seen two Pulisic goals in two games and his reactions are the best.
Suma’s call of Pulisic’s goal vs. Torino from Saturday is about as good as it gets. The USMNT star opened the scoring in the 33rd minute to give Milan a 1-0 lead and this was Suma’s response on air.
