Pulisic sets AC Milan on their way to comfortable win over Lecce
AC Milan continued their unbeaten run in Serie A with a 3-0 win over Lecce at San Siro. Christian Pulisic fired Ruben Amorim’s side ahead early on before second-half goals from Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira wrapped up the win.
AC Milan secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Lecce at San Siro, extending their unbeaten streak in Serie A. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring for Ruben Amorim's team in the 14th minute with a composed finish after a well-placed pass from Strahinja Pavlovic. The United States star demonstrated his versatility by controlling the ball, then striking it with a single touch before ultimately slotting it into the bottom corner.
Milan found themselves in control before halftime, with Koni De Winter and Pavlovic missing good chances to equalize. Pervis Estupinan's effort was thwarted by Wladimiro Falcone just before the restart, but the home side doubled their lead in the 61st minute through Adrien Rabiot. The French midfielder completed a quick passing sequence involving Goncalo Ramos before finding the net, assisted by the goalkeeping intervention of Mike Maignan, who saved a shot from Kialonda Gaspar.
Estupinan's effort found the side netting shortly after, but AC Milan sealed the win with a goal from substitute Diego Moreira in the 73rd minute. The Italian forward exploited space in the box, evading defenders before slotting the ball beneath Falcone to complete a comfortable win for Milan, who now sit fifth in the standings with three wins and two draws in their last five matches.
Lecce, who dominated the early stages of the game, had to settle for a third consecutive loss in their challenging season.
