Paulo Fonseca was under intense pressure heading into the derby but his clever deployment of the USMNT player paid off

Another early goal for Christian Pulisic, and this time a positive outcome for AC Milan. Pulisic’s 10th-minute strike was canceled out by Federico Dimarco but Matteo Gabbia netted two minutes from time as the Rossoneri won 2-1 at Inter Milan on Sunday for their first derby victory since 2022.

Christian Pulisic is in a period of brilliance unseen in USMNT circles since a certain Clint Dempsey tormented defenses about 15 years ago.
