Pulisic double rescues AC Milan at lowly Lecce

SPORTS 08.03.2025

Christian Pulisic scored twice as AC Milan avoided the humiliation of a fourth straight Serie A defeat with a come-from-behind 3-2 win over lowly Lecce on Saturday.

Text size:

Sergio Conceicao's side, playing without suspended French goalkeeper Mike Maignan, were trailing 2-0 for over an hour following a double from Lecce's Montenegro forward Nikola Krstovic after seven and 59 minutes.

An Antonino Gallo own goal after 68 minutes threw the northerners a lifeline with Pulisic equalising from the penalty spot five minutes later.

And the US international then handed his team its first victory since February 15 with his second goal nine minutes from time.

Last year's Serie A runners-up move into eighth position but are 14 points behind champions and leaders Inter Milan who host tailenders Monza later Saturday.

Despite the win Conceicao's future remains in doubt having replaced fellow Portuguese Paulo Fonseca at the end of December.

Milan bosses are reported to be in advanced talks with former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
