'I Was Truly Dead': Christian Pulisic Reflects On Heroics For AC Milan Against Torino After Battling Flu

Napoli and Inter Milan's weekend wins in Serie A left AC Milan in third place on the table. They needed three points to get back on top of the table; however, AC Milan was already 2-0 behind in the first 17 minutes after a goal from Torino player Nikola Vlasic and a penalty by Duván Zapata.

Adrien Rabiot opened the scoresheet for Milan in the 24th minute. Former Chelsea player Christian Pulisic, who was struggling with the flu that kept him out of training for quite some time, came off the bench in the 67th minute and scored a brace, stealing the 3-2 win for his side.
