"Christian Pulisic was the star of the show as AC Milan cruised to a 3-0 win against Udinese. The United States international scored on either side of assisting Youssouf Fofana to secure a third consecutive Serie A win for Milan and move them up to third in the table. In a quiet first half that saw Santiago Gimenez miss a golden chance in the 19th minute, Pulisic opened the scoring six minutes before the break after he fired in a rebound from close range."
"Massimiliano Allegri's side then doubled their advantage in the first 52 seconds of the second half when Fofana curled in an effort from the edge of the box after the referee played advantage following a foul on Pulisic. The forward then grabbed his second goal of the game seven minutes later. Adrien Rabiot picked out Pulisic with a reverse pass, and the American's strike was too powerful for Razvan Sava, who could only parry it into his net."
