Christian Pulisic’s winner, Olivier Giroud the keeper send AC Milan to first place!

I thought Chuck played alright. In the third minute he puts in a beautiful ball that Okafor couldn't convert. He also had a couple of other nice balls into the box. His issue will be that he is too one-dimensional in that he gets the ball on the wing and tries to dribble people. Its not going to work against low-block opponents. Pulisic is picking his spots and making better decisions which is why people claim he is disappearing at times and not being aggressive enough. In actuality he is making tons of runs to put him into space that are constantly getting ignored. If Milan had a better playmaker, played quicker, or were making the extra pass rather than being selfish then I think you would see him with the ball in dangerous spots more with a chance to score / assist. If he constantly tried to dribble people a la Leao, he would be dispossessed a ton (like Leao). People would be up in arms about it.

Damn, i never knew Giroud was a good goalkeeper 😂😂😂. But seriously he has done a great job and actually kept a clean sheet. Davide Calabria was responsible for Mike getting the red card i mean how can he lose track of the genoa forward? Mike had to do that otherwise it would have been goal. I don't know what pioli sees in pobega and Calabria and they were not even included in the Italian national team. Florenzi is the only Italian that has been playing well and u can include bartesaghi too. I hope Calabria doesn't play against PSG as he has to deal with kylian mbappe. Its great we got the win and and at the top of the the table over inter but they need to do a good job against a surging Juventus. Milan management needs to bring in good Italian players like beradi of they want to maintain the Italian image of the club. Lastly, a pretty disgusting behaviour from the genoa fans , i mean just because ur team conceded a goal u r going to throw thrash on the opposition players? It was happening all the time throughout the game. Milan needs to file a complaint with serie a about Genoa fans behaviour 😡😡. Also pioli should give Okafor another chance in the game against Juve and let leao and smauel Chukweze start together.

Bro Maignan nearly killed that guy with his knee. Clear red card.

Maignan's Red card is just like Curtis Jones red card

Let’s put this in context…. genoa beat lazio, roma and drew with Napoli. So they know how to make themselves a rock.

We didnt need Chuck, we could have kept Sala and still be gold on the right, actually we might have been better. We could have used that money for a back up LB

First AC Milan game I watched live. Pulisic scoring as a USMNT fan and SUPER GIROUD as GK with both red cards in extra minutes.

I think theo took the yellow card purposely so he could be there for the Napoli game over Juventus one

Why did that referee call back a foul when we were in an advantageous position to score . Why would he do that ?

Nice for calling that goal a hand ball because it was 👌🏾

Meanwhile, nice shirt bro

100% red card, this is too dangerous, it was horrific.

I adore Mike, he's the best but he almost killed that poor guy. Theo is one of the best LB in the world but dirty player and a diver as well. Giroud is a knight. Chukwueze and Jović must fight for their places. This is neither Villareal nor Fiorentina. This is one of the greatest football clubs.

forzzza milan.. giroud did a great job..

the idea of the boxes is super smart and creative, but if you swap musa and pulisic I think it will be more fair. cause musa played a great match and gave an assist , whereas pulisic was doing nothing except the goal. one more thing could someone pls tell pioli that he can rotate without changing the whole attacking line . I mean he did this last year with origi, and now chukweze and okafor, feels like he hates new players

As always, very nice breakdown. IMO, Mike was super ambitious going to head those balls. In real time I was just like "holy shit he's absolutely wrecking these guys". I wasn't too surprised for the red, especially after seeing it in slow motion. That had to hurt like hell taking a knee to the chest/chin area with that kind of momentum. Though it was amazing to see Giroud not only step in, but step up. Then after Martinez got his 2nd yellow, they stopped the advantage from Leao when he could've went down and likely scored with no one in goal. After that I didn't feel as bad about the Pulisic goal standing. I believe that they didn't have 100% clear evidence to overturn it or whatever, so ruling on the field had to stand. Either way, we'll take the win!

No bro.. Pulisic goal was not a handball… All angles show its not.. Only one angle showed its as if it touched his arm.. Thats why the VAR took so much time in checking… The ball actually touched the green area of the top right shoulder

What a game!!

First place before two weeks of national break.8 games played,7 win only 1 lose,we are AC Milan🗿❤️🖤

No was Florenzi gets a green. The 4th goes to musah or Pioli himself for doing the opposite gameplan he did from dortumund and taking off okafor and especially chukweze for CP. I’m sorry but when are we gonna realize pulisic, although different from Leao in attributes is literally just as influencial and is maybe a fraction below his level of not on par with him. Pulisics passing, decision making in the final third and finishing is better. And this isn’t some 2 game sample size. It’s a 5th of the season. Chuckweze had a myriad of chances but only
Lost possession time and time again. And pulisic demonstrates his elite skill and finishing under pressure afain. Also Rafa needs a call out for a poor second half. If you hold others accountable when they go quiet do the same for someone who was supposedly talked about in the same class as mbappe and Vini Jr. Said it before and I’ll
Say it again. Pulisic will lead this team in GA and Rafa and he will be so
Close but that’s what will help them win scudetto. Forza Milan!!

I watched the goal Pulisic scored from a clear angle in frame by frame. It did not touch his arm. I was surprised. I think the position of his arm and the manner in which it bounced from his chest made it appear that it hit his arm.

Pulisic's ability to sneak inside the Box is one of his biggest strenghts, he is always open and avaible to recieve the ball and shoot no matter the position where he is.

In all fairness… it could be interesting to see him playing as a false 9 alongside Leao and Chukwu.

Tbh i dont think there is clear shot that demonstrate the handball, during the broadcast they showed 4 different angles and only in 1 suggests a touch in the arm but its not clear at all. On maignan´s red card that was a big mistake on the referee, mike wins the challenge and jumps in a natural position as a gk, on the replay you can see mike preparing to jump for the challenge and the striker still goes to that risky challenge, the knee hit is a cosequence of that, not a deliberate attempt to hit the player or stoping him directly. There was no foul and no red card but since he sanctioned the foul the var had to intervene since considering that a foul means the red card, so Var was on point this match but the field referee was TERRIBLE
