Another assist for Chris, decisive against Udinese as the league resumes
Him again, always him, wonderfully him. Christian Pulisic, MVP for September, has also won the award for being best in game from AC Milan v Udinese. An assist, his third of the season, for Chukwueze’s goal and much, much more skill right until the final whistle. Everything short of scoring, Chris’ performance against the Friuliani was one of the best in our shirt, rich with self-sacrifice and the right things at the right times.
His four-game scoring run in Serie A comes to an end but he secured his third league assist of the season after providing for Pavlović against Lazio and Fofana against Venezia. At the start of this season, we can say for sure that he has been decisive, he was a cornerstone for the side against Udinese, making sacrifices and creating dangers when down to ten men, like in the 75th minute when he forced Okoye into a miracle save.
Statistics: in the Top-5 European Leagues, Christian Pulisic is the first player to be involved in a goal (scoring or providing an assist) for seven games on the bounce. Since the start of last season, he is the only player in Serie A to have scored more than 10 goals (17) and provide more than 10 assists (11). In the same period, only Cole Palmer (44 – 28G, 16A) has had more goal involvements than Christian Pulisic (28 – 17G 11A) among midfielders from the Top-5 European Leagues.
Via our official App, he was chosen as MVP from AC Milan v Udinese with over 50% of the vote, ahead of matchwinner Samuel Chukwuese and Youssouf Fofana who put in a gigantic performance in every part of the pitch at San Siro. At a difficult time and in a game that could have gone badly, Pulisic helped the Rossoneri to secure a victory and start again.
