"Youssouf Fofana cushioned Strahinja Pavlovic's square pass into the path of Pulisic, whose deflected strike beat Alex Meret. Napoli were handed a reprieve on the hour mark, though. Giovanni Di Lorenzo was hauled down by Pervis Estupinan, who was sent off following a VAR review, and Kevin De Bruyne calmly slotted home from the penalty spot. The reigning Scudetto holders desperately looked to capitalise on their numerical advantage and find the equaliser."
"Just three minutes had elapsed when Pulisic glided away from a couple of challenges down the left flank, before playing the ball across the face of goal for Saelemaekers to apply the finishing touch at the far post. Mike Maignan then came to Milan's rescue at the other end with sharp reflex saves to deny Miguel Gutierrez and Scott McTominay, before the hosts doubled their lead in the 31st minute."
AC Milan moved to the top of Serie A with a 2-1 victory over Napoli at San Siro. Alexis Saelemaekers converted an early Christian Pulisic cross, and Pulisic scored a deflected second after a pass from Strahinja Pavlovic was cushioned into his path by Youssouf Fofana. Mike Maignan produced sharp reflex saves to deny Miguel Gutierrez and Scott McTominay. Pervis Estupinan was sent off following a VAR review and Kevin De Bruyne scored a penalty. Napoli pressed late with attempts from Giovanni Di Lorenzo and substitute David Neres, but Milan held on to secure first place on head-to-head record. Pulisic has been directly involved in 46 goals since his Serie A debut.
