'It was a good cross' - Christian Pulisic admits Olimpico goal vs Club Brugge was 'lucky' as USMNT forward speaks out on his incredible form for AC Milan

Pulisic caught the eye yet again on Tuesday as he opened the scoring for Milan against Club Brugge in the Champions League with an extraordinary goal. The USMNT star netted directly from a corner to put the hosts 1-0 up and set the Rossoneri up for a 3-1 victory. The goal is the latest magic moment from Pulisic who has been playing a starring role for his club this season. Pulisic now has seven goals and three assists for Paulo Fonseca's side and also bagged an assist for the USMNT in Mauricio Pochettino's first game in charge against Panama.

There's no doubt that Pulisic is on fire right now and proving to be an excellent acquisition for Milan following his move from Premier League side Chelsea. The American forward admitted after the win over Club Brugge that he is thrilled by his current form but did concede that his latest goal had been rather fortunate.

He told reporters: "Today it was a bit of luck but it's still worth a goal. I'm very happy. I didn't try to do that but it was a good cross, I'll say that, and, after, a nice, nice goal but I wasn't trying that. I work hard every day. I always want to be decisive in matches. I'm very happy this year, I'm getting a lot of goals and assists, but it's not always like that. So I'll continue like this and hope to continue scoring."

Pulisic has already been tipped to "score from halfway next" after his Olimpico goal and will certainly hope he can maintain his current excellent run. AC Milan are back in Serie A action on Saturday at Bologna and face a daunting trip to Santiago Bernabeu to face defending champions Real Madrid next in the Champions League.
