Another early goal from Pulisic, this time ending in a derby win for AC Milan

MILAN (AP) — Another early goal by Christian Pulisic, and this time it was a positive result for AC Milan. Pulisic’s 10th-minute goal was canceled out by Federico Dimarco, but Matteo Gabbia scored two minutes from time and the Rossoneri won 2-1 at Inter Milan on Sunday for their first derby victory since 2022. Milan also prevented Inter from winning a record seventh consecutive derby. That eased the pressure on Milan coach Paulo Fonseca after just one win in his first five matches, including a 3-1 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday when Pulisic scored. New Roma coach Ivan Jurić started the season brightly, beating Udinese 3-0.
