Pulisic scores off bench as Milan get 1st win

Former Chelsea players Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic scored as AC Milan beat host Lecce 2-0 for its first win in Serie A on Friday.

Actress Helen Mirren donned a yellow Lecce shirt and watched from the stands but there was little to excite the home fans or the Oscar-winning star of “The Queen.”

Milan had two goals chalked off after a video review but it eventually got one that counted midway through the second half when Loftus-Cheek rose higher than everyone else to glance home a flighted free kick.

United States forward Pulisic came off the substitutes’ bench to seal the win with an assured finish under the advancing goalkeeper four minutes from time.

The win was a relief for Milan, which started the season with a shock defeat at home to newly promoted Cremonese.

Lecce has one point from its first two games.
