AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic broke the record set by one of his USMNT teammates to become the highest scoring American in a single season in Serie A.
Pulisic opened the scoring for Milan in the 59th minute of the match against Sassuolo. It turned out to be the only goal of the day, as Milan are third in Serie A.
In doing so, he set a new record for Americans in the Italian top flight and scored his sixth goal in the competition.
It improved the old record set by Juventus striker Weston McKennie in the 2020/21 season – the midfielder's first with the 'Old Lady'.
Pulisic has been a sensation for Milan since arriving from Chelsea this summer.
