Christian Pulisic marks new deal by scoring again in Milan derby win

Christian Pulisic celebrated the signing of a new five-year contract by scoring again in the Milan derby, leading AC Milan to a 3-1 victory over Inter Milan in Serie A. The United States international marked his commitment to the Italian team until 2031 with the goal that set his side on the path to triumph. Pulisic's fourth goal in the Milan derby showcased his continued prowess in the high-stakes fixture.

Inter fans, eager to assert their dominance, unfurled a banner declaring "fairytale time is over for you." However, the Milan fans were in for a dream as the team took an early lead within the first ten minutes. Pulisic's first goal came in the fourth minute, heading in Diego Moreira's cross. Six minutes later, AC Milan solidified their advantage with a well-executed corner routine, with Adrien Rabiot delivering the corner into the far post.

Inter managed to pull one back with a header from Alessandro Bastoni, but Moreira equalized with a spectacular free-kick in the second half, curling the ball into the top right corner. Pulisic's goal and Moreira's equalizer showcased their proficiency in high-pressure situations, with Pulisic stating his desire to continue scoring in the derby for Milan's success.

The match also highlighted Milan's strategic move towards their new stadium adjacent to the existing arena, with a total of at least nine more derbies to be played at the iconic San Siro before the clubs relocate.
