VIDEO: Made in Chelsea! Christian Pulisic provides clever headed assist for Olivier Giroud to give ten-man AC Milan a lifeline at Monza

Milan were trailing 2-0 against Monza and were down to 10 men when they attacked down the right wing and sent the ball into the box. Pulisic was there to head it on and Giroud nipped in to divert it home and halve the deficit with 25 minutes left to play.

Monza managed to take a two-goal lead right at the end of the first half, as Matteo Pessina converted a penalty in the 45th minute. Then, in stoppage time, Dany Mota doubled their advantage. Milan were left with a mountain to climb when Luka Jovic was sent off for elbowing an opponent, but ex-Chelsea stars Pulisic and Giroud combined to give them a chance. Incredibly, Pulisic managed to score an equaliser late on but Monza responded with two goals after the 90th minute to seal a 4-2 win.

Losing the Serie A clash deals a huge blow to the San Siro side, leaving them 11 points behind league leaders Inter, who have a game in hand. Despite the rough display, they will be confident of progressing in the Europa League on Thursday as they take on Rennes in the second leg of their play-off tie having won 3-0 against the French side last week.
