US star Christian Pulisic scored his first goal of the season as he made his first start for AC Milan on Sunday, helping the Italian side beat Lecce 3-0 at home. Pulisic opened the scoring in the 14th minute as Milan secured a comfortable victory in the Italian league. The American forward had made two previous appearances for Milan this season in all competitions, coming on as a substitute at halftime in both matches. His previous goal for the club came in December 2025, when he scored in a league victory over Verona. “It hasn’t been an easy year,” Pulisic told DAZN. “I’m happy about the goal today, but right now all that matters is to keep winning.” The victory was important for Milan, which had won only one home match since March. The team had also faced criticism from its fans after losing 2-0 at home to Benfica in the Europa League on Wednesday, when players were booed off the field. Milan will look to build on Sunday’s win as it continues its Italian league campaign.
