Christian Pulisic turned his anger into production, setting up the first AC Milan goal as the super sub made his season debut off the bench in a 2-2 comeback draw at Lazio in Serie A play on Saturday.
Milan boss Ruben Amorim revealed this week that Pulisic was upset with a lack of playing time following his injury with the USMNT at the World Cup and a knock suffered earlier in club training.
Pulisic was all over the pitch after subbing into the game at halftime and had rung up the games’ most created chances despite playing only a half (three). He set up the first of two goals for ex-Chelsea man Diego Moreira.
He was 15-for-15 on passes and committed a pair of fouls that saw him cautioned before the hour mark.
The soon-to-be 28-year-old winger had been an unused sub in Milan’s first three Serie A matches.

Pulisic starts the move with a back heel flick and races to the front line, ducking onside before running into the 18.
He rescues a pass with his trailing leg and clips a hopeful cross to the back post, where Moreira rattles in a technical marvel of a strike to start his brace and Milan’s comeback from 2-0 to 2-2 in Rome.
