Pulisic makes debut at iconic San Siro as entertaining Milan dismantle Torino

The ex-Chelsea forward is obviously enjoying himself in Italy, just like the entire Stefano Pioli's squad (3-1)

Christian Pulisic had been struggling at Chelsea for some time, and his move to AC Milan in this transfer window made much sense. However, there were certain doubts regarding his accommodation to Serie A. But after two goals out of two games, it's pretty obvious he'll have the time of his life in northern Italy.

The US international netted on his San Siro debut on Saturday night in a brilliant 4-1 home win against Torino.

Pulisic opened the scoring with a help from his former Chelsea teammate Loftus-Cheek, another of Milan's recent signings, who provided him with the assist.

Schuurs pulled one back almost instantly for the visitors before Giroud (from the spot) and Theo Hernandez restored the Rossonerri's lead seconds before the half-time interval.

The title contenders made sure things continued going smoothly for them after the break. Rafael Leao was fouled inside the box, and Giroud stepped up again to seal a brace from the spot and wrap up the game with plenty of time still left on the clock.
