Christian Pulisic is riding a hot run of form right now.
Pulisic scored on Friday for the fourth-straight match as AC Milan defeated Lecce 3-0 in Serie A play. In total, Pulisic has scored in each of his last five appearances for club and country, which is a career-best for the U.S. men’s national team star.
Alvaro Morata kicked things off for the Rossoneri in the 38th minute, flicking home a header off a set piece for a 1-0 lead.
Theo Hernandez doubled AC Milan’s lead three minutes later before Pulisic extended the hosts lead only two minutes. A frantic series in the box eventually led to Pulisic slamming home a rebound for a 3-0 advantage.
It marked Pulisic’s fifth goal of the season across all competitions.
AC Milan would be reduced to 10 men in the second half, but had little trouble fending off its visitors.
Pulisic logged 63 minutes in the match, continuing to be one of Paulo Fonseca’s best players this season.
The second-place Rossoneri resumes UEFA Champions League play on Tuesday against Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
