Pulisic Saves Conceição with Milan's Dramatic Win over Lecce
AC Milan pulled off a comeback in their Serie A away match against Lecce, overturning a 2-0 deficit to secure a 3-2 victory and, in the process, likely saving the job of manager Sérgio Conceição.
The hero of the match for Milan was Christian Pulisic. The American forward first leveled the score with a coolly converted penalty, before sealing all three points for Milan with a late strike in the 81st minute, sending the Rossoneri fans into ecstasy.
With this crucial win, Conceição has managed to keep his job, at least for the time being, as Milan continue their pursuit of consistency in Serie A.
