Christian Pulisic follows in the footsteps of AC Milan legend as USMNT star continues magnificent season with another assist

The 25-year-old was at his best once again for Serie A's second-placed side, providing a beautiful assist for Davide Calabria in the 77th minute. Pulisic delivered an inch-perfect cross for his team-mate who flicked a deft header on and past the Salernitana goalkeeper to make it 3-1 at the time. Despite the best efforts of the USMNT star, it was not enough to win the game with AC Milan throwing away the lead and conceding twice late on.

The assist means Pulisic becomes just the second AC Milan midfielder to be involved in 20 or more goals in a single campaign. The former Chelsea man has 12 goals and eight assists, matching a record set by club legend Kaka, who had 20 or more involvements in three campaigns for the Italian club.

Pulisic is one of only three Serie A players to record 15 goals and 10 assists across all competitions this season. He joins Milan team-mate Rafael Leao and Roma star Paulo Dybala in hitting the landmark.

There is no time to rest for Pulisic as he gears up for the Copa America in his home country. The tournament in the US is set to provide an entire summer of entertainment and the AC Milan midfielder will be hoping to lead his side to victory for the first time in their history.
