• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Pulisic has found the going tough with his country of late – as a Copa America flop was followed by winless outings against Canada and New Zealand in the September international break – but the 26-year-old continues to deliver end product at club level.

  He opened the scoring for Milan in their dramatic 2-1 derby win over arch-rivals Inter – with golf pro girlfriend Alexa Melton on hand to witness that strike. Said effort means that Pulisic has been directly involved in a goal across five successive matches for the first time in his career.

• WHAT NEXT FOR PULISIC?

  Pulisic has been on target for the Rossoneri against Parma, Venezia, Liverpool and Inter, while also providing an assist in a Serie A clash with Lazio. Milan will be hoping to see that impressive run extended when they play host to Lecce on Friday.
