Christian Pulisic scored his third goal in three Serie A starts as AC Milan defeated Genoa 2-1 on Sunday.

AC Milan secured a 2-1 victory away at Genoa on Sunday, rebounding from a recent Europa League loss to Ferencvaros. Alphadjo Cissè provided the opening goal for the visitors before Christian Pulisic doubled the lead in the first half. The strike marked the United States international's third goal across his last three Serie A starts. Mikael Egill Ellertsson scored a late goal for Genoa, though the hosts could not find an equalizer.

The result moves Ruben Amorim’s side up to fourth place in the league standings, while Genoa drops to 13th. The victory follows a period of inconsistent form for Milan, who recently defeated rivals Inter Milan but suffered losses to both Bologna and Ferencvaros. Manager Amorim noted following the match that the team's competitiveness depends on player availability and maintaining a consistent mentality between midweek European fixtures and Sunday league games. Milan now enters the international break seeking to recover players from a recent injury crisis.
