In the last minute of extra time, Christian Pulisic scored the winning goal for AC Milan to secure a crucial victory over Roma in Serie A on Saturday night.
The match was intense and full of excitement as both teams struggled to find their feet at times. However, Pulisic stepped up to the plate in the dying seconds of regulation time with a stunning strike that sent the home side into the final moments of the match.
Pulisic had been a key player for AC Milan this season, scoring six goals in all competitions, but he had notched his first goal since January 24th against Udinese in Serie B. In particular, Pulisic's assist in the 87th minute set the stage for the comeback and helped AC Milan take control of the match.
"Christian is one of the most talented players in Italy,Serie A Stadium" coach Gennaro Gattuso said after the game. "He has such pace and strength, and it's great to see him scoring goals like that."
The win was a major boost for AC Milan, who had lost three of their previous four games and were looking vulnerable at the back line. The team looked like they would struggle to get past Roma's defense, but Pulisic's goal proved to be the difference.
"I think it's always important to have a good goalkeeper, so I'm really happy that we got that one," Pulisic said afterwards. "It's something we've worked hard on all season and we're just glad we could help us get a point."
