Pulisic Powers AC Milan to Thrilling 3-2 Victory Over Torino

In a thrilling encounter on Monday, AC Milan surged to the pinnacle of Serie A with a remarkable 3-2 comeback triumph against Torino, fueled by USA’s Christian Pulisic. The American forward, initially sidelined due to flu, came off the bench in the 67th minute to turn the tide in Milan’s favor, allowing them to ascend above Napoli based on goal difference.

Torino began strongly, with Nikola Vlasic converting a penalty early on, followed by Duvan Zapata extending the advantage in the 17th minute. Milan struggled initially, but Adrien Rabiot ignited hope with a spectacular long-range effort just seven minutes later. The visitors continued their offensive efforts, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek nearly equalizing, only to be thwarted by goalkeeper Franco Israel.

Upon entering the fray, Pulisic rejuvenated the team’s spirit, netting a quick goal from close range with his first touch. Just 13 minutes later, he doubled his tally with a skillful low half-volley, capping off an impressive comeback for Milan. His performance underscored his vital role in the squad and bolsters their aspirations for the title.

In added time, Pulisic nearly completed a hat-trick, but his effort was disallowed due to an offside in the build-up involving Christopher Nkunku. Nevertheless, Milan secured a vital victory, reclaiming their top position in the league. They are now set to face Sassuolo next, while Torino, currently at 16th, continue to seek their first victory since late October.
