Pulisic was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-player-ratings-christian-pulisic-yunus-musah-mauricio-pochettino/bltb8ea28546c19db9e" target="_blank">on target in a 1-1 draw for the USMNT on Tuesday</a> in a friendly against New Zealand. The AC Milan star bagged his 31st goal for his country but the Stars and Stripes were denied victory when New Zealand's Ben Waine fortunately equalized in the 89th minute. Melton paid tribute to boyfriend Pulisic after the game with a custom 'explicit content' T-shirt featuring the USMNT talisman and the caption "big fan".<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blta8c4ef338526c44d/Alexa%20Melton.JPG?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blta8c4ef338526c44d/Alexa%20Melton.JPG?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blta8c4ef338526c44d/Alexa%20Melton.JPG?format=jpg" alt="Alexa Melton Christian Pulisic" data-source="" data-copyright="Alexa Melton Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Alexa Melton Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blta8c4ef338526c44d;width:372;height:584"></picture>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Pulisic and Melton have been officially dating since the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-dating-golf-star-alexa-melton-usmnt-romance-rumours-us-womens-open/bltddca14f57dac3ebb">2024 US Women’s Open</a> and spent the summer enjoying time on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-golf-pro-partner-alexa-melton-beautiful-cliffside-steak-dinner-usmnt-star-copa-america-heartbreak-turks-and-caicos-islands/bltb792ae585dc6f2cf" target="_blank">holiday on the Turks and Caicos Islands</a> as well as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-golf-pro-partner-alexa-melton-beautiful-cliffside-steak-dinner-usmnt-star-copa-america-heartbreak-turks-and-caicos-islands/bltb792ae585dc6f2cf" target="_blank">hitting the golf course together</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/photo-usmnt-star-christian-pulisic-cosies-up-golfer-alexa-melton-jet-ski-romance-rumours-copa-america/blt7a0028aaaa90f8b5#cse8c3ef306e66bbf3" target="_blank">cosying up on a jet ski</a>.

THE GOSSIP

Pulisic's goal against New Zealand ended a three-match run without a goal contribution for the USMNT. The Milan man has only ever gone four straight matches without a goal involvement once in his entire US career.

DID YOU KNOW?

Pulisic will now work under Mauricio Pochettino with the USMNT after the former Chelsea boss was appointed as head coach. The 25-year-old has said <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-cm/lists/usmnt-christian-pulisic-mauricio-pochettino/blte88ad11fc659ba2d#cs909c55ae5918c755" target="_blank">"a lot of things need to change"</a> within the national team set-up and has urged Pochettino to bring a "culture that is willing to fight".
