Christian Pulisic continued his scoring streak as AC Milan scored three goals in just five minutes before halftime, winning 3-0 against Lecce in the Italian league on Friday.
Álvaro Morata opened the scoring with a header from Theo Hernandez’s free kick in the 38th minute. Hernandez then received a pass from Rafael Leão and shot into the net from a tight angle just two minutes later. Pulisic added the third goal right before halftime.
This marked Pulisic’s fifth goal in seven matches this season, bringing his total number of goals and assists to 32 since joining Milan in June last year, making him the highest in Serie A.
Davide Bartesaghi received a straight red card for Milan with 10 minutes left, but it was too late for Lecce to mount a comeback.
With this win, Milan reached 11 points and is tied for the top of the league with Torino, who has a game in hand against Lazio on Sunday. Lecce sits fourth from the bottom of the 20-team league, with only one win and five points from six matches.
