What happened. Christian Pulisic ended his Milan goalscoring drought by opening the scoring against Lecce in Serie A. He brought down a long ball from Strahinja Pavlovic, went one-on-one with Wladimiro Falcone, and tucked into the bottom corner.

• First Milan goal since December 28, 2025, in a 3-0 win over Hellas Verona.
• His only other 2026 goal came for the United States against Senegal.
• The goal put Milan 1-0 ahead at the San Siro.

Pulisic will aim to build on this goal as Milan continue their Serie A campaign.
