Christian Pulisic scores 'Olimpico' goal for AC Milan in UCL

Christian Pulisic continued his sensational start to the season on Tuesday, scoring directly from a corner in AC Milan's 3-1  UEFA Champions League win against Belgium's Club Brugge.

The United States star opened the scoring in the 34th minute at the San Siro, sending in an inswinging corner from the left that deceived the goalkeeper and defenders and somehow missed everyone before bouncing into the net beyond the despairing attempted clearance on the goal line.

The effort was the first "Olimpico" goal of Pulisic's career and took him to 10 goal contributions in his past 10 games for club and country. It was also the 26-year-old's second goal in three Champions League games this season, after scoring in Milan's opening defeat to Liverpool last month.

In Serie A, Pulisic has scored five goals and added three assists in eight games this campaign. He also registered an assist in Mauricio Pochettino's first game in charge of the USMNT, against Panama earlier this month.

Belgium's Brugge had to play most of Tuesday's game with 10 men after Raphael Onyedika was sent off in the 40th minute but still leveled the score with a goal from Kyriani Sabbe in the 51st.

Tijjani Reijnders later scored twice to give Milan a much-needed first win in this season's Champions League, having also lost to Bayer Leverkusen.

Sixteen-year-old Francesco Camarda was brought on in the 75th minute and became the youngest Italian debutant in the Champions League. He briefly thought he had broken the record for youngest Champions League scorer too, but his header was ruled offside to halt joyous celebrations.
