Pulisic goal lifts AC Milan to derby glory
Christian Pulisic's goal gave AC Milan a 1-0 win over city rival Inter Milan at the San Siro, with Mike Maignan saving Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty to deny the hosts an equaliser.
Milan moved up to second spot on 25 points, two behind leader AS Roma, and level with defending champion Napoli while Inter, which could have returned to the summit with a win, slipped to fourth place on 24 points alongside Bologna.
After a frantic opening half where Inter had most of the chances and Milan was saved by its keeper and the upright, Pulisic gave Milan the lead nine minutes after the break.
A Strahinja Pavlovic foul on Marcus Thuram gave Inter a lifeline 16 minutes from time, but Maignan came to the rescue again and Milan held on to earn local bragging rights and a statement win in a tight title race.
