USMNT's Christian Pulisic scores again for AC Milan in win over Torino
- USMNT figure scores second goal in as many games for Italian giants
- Milan at the top of Serie A on goal difference
- 24-year-old off to a flying start with the Rossoneri
AC Milan triumphed 4-1 over Torino to propel them to the top of Serie A, as United States men's national team figure Christian Pulisic found the back of the net for the second consecutive game.
After a limited 2022/23 season with Chelsea, Pulisic must be loving life in Milan. The 24-year-old who scored just once for the Blues last season in 24 appearances, has now beaten that total in just two games with the Italian giants.
The former Borussia Dortmund player made a darting run to the back post for a tap-in finish to open the scoring in the first half for Milan, as they'd go on to score three more goals in their rout of Torino. Striker Olivier Giroud converted two penalties to add to the lead, while Theo Hernandez also got in on the scoring action.

With two wins on the trot, Milan now prepare to take on fellow Italian giants AS Roma on September 1 at the Stadio Olimpico, as Jose Mourinho's side have failed to win their opening two games of the new season - a 2-2 draw against Salernitana followed by a 2-1 defeat to Hellas Verona.
Pulisic, should he be fit, will look to feature for the US again in mid-September when they take on Uzbekistan and Oman in international friendlies, with Gregg Berhalter back in the dugout for the first time since the 2022 World Cup.
