Although AC Milan didn’t show their best form under Paulo Fonseca, they secured three invaluable points in their visit to Monza. With a game in hand, the Rossoneri now have the chance to break into the top four of Serie A if they win that match.

Christian Pulisic has been a crucial part of Fonseca’s Milan lineup. After closing October with an impressive streak of goals and assists, he aimed to kick off November in a similar fashion.

And though Pulisic didn’t directly score or assist in Milan’s lone goal against Monza, he initiated the attacking play, delivering the cross that led to Morata’s assist for Reijnders, sealing the victory.
