United States of America star Christian Pulisic scored the only goal in AC Milan's narrow win over Sassuolo, minutes before the clock struck the hour. Milan, having drawn their previous game and rapidly falling off the pace in the Serie A title race - with rivals Inter Milan and Juventus locked in a battle - needed a respite, which Pulisic supplied with a crucial strike in the second half. The Rossoneri attempted 20 shots, landing only two on target, with one ending up as a goal.
