Christian Pulisic struck again on Saturday as he scored the game-winner in AC Milan’s 1-0 victory vs. Sassuolo in Serie A.

The United States men’s national team forward has reinvented himself in Italy since the summer transfer from Chelsea and has been one of Milan’s best players this season.

Pulisic’s goal at San Siro was one of the few highlights for Milan as Stefano Pioli’s side struggled to create goal-scoring opportunities against the side sitting 17th in the Serie A table.

TURIN — Juventus delivered an efficient performance as they moved back to provisional top spot in Serie A on Friday, securing a 1-0 home win against a wasteful Napoli thanks to a header from Federico Gatti.

Juve had their best chance of the first half when Dusan Vlahovic's close-range attempt was blocked by Natan, and Weston McKennie's subsequent rebound with an overhead kick was denied by Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret.

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.

AC Milan's injury problems in attack have opened the door for teenager Francesco Camarda who was called up to the squad to face Fiorentina and the 15-year-old has the talent to overcome his young age, manager Stefano Pioli said on Friday.

Rafael Leão was substituted with a hamstring injury early in Milan's last game with Lecce and is still sidelined, and his replacement in that game, Noah Okafor, suffered a thigh injury while on international duty with Switzerland.

The United States men’s national team roster for two Concacaf Nations League games against Trinidad and Tobago was revealed on Thursday and fans will have one big question. Why is Pulisic not playing vs Trinidad and Tobago?

Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah are U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter’s preferred starting wingers, however neither were included in the latest roster.

This is because the attacking pair are both recovering from hamstring injuries.

AC Milan and United States men’s national team fans are worried about a potential Christian Pulisic injury after he was substituted out at halftime vs. Napoli on Saturday.

The American winger had one of his best displays for Milan in the opening 45 minutes. Pulisic was connecting his passes, dribbling past opponents and helped open the scoring with a beautiful assist to Olivier Giroud.

Argentina forward Papu Gomez has blamed a failed doping test on his son's cough syrup after Serie A club Monza said on Friday that their World Cup-winner had been handed a two-year ban.

Gómez failed an anti-doping test as he tested positive in October 2022 at Sevilla — before the World Cup.

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.

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.
