Christian Pulisic did not take either of the two penalties awarded to AC Milan against Fiorentina despite being the team's designated taker.
Much to the dismay of Paulo Fonseca, Christian Pulisic did not take either of AC Milan's two penalties against Fiorentina, resulting in a 2–1 defeat for the Rossoneri.
Milan's final Serie A fixture before the October international break unfolded with plenty of drama that spilled into Fonseca's post-game press conference. After Fiorentina took an early 1–0 lead, Milan had two opportunities to equalize and take the lead from the penalty spot. Except Theo Hernández and Tammy Abraham saw their efforts saved by David de Gea.. "I don't know why the players changed their minds.
Pulisic has never missed a penalty in his professional career for both club and country. The winger is a perfect 10/10 from the spot and could have given his side the 2–1 lead had he continued his streak. Although Pulisic did not take either penalty, he still found the back of the net in the 60th minute to momentarily get Milan back into the game. Thecaptain buried a volley with his right foot in the 60th minute, bagging his sixth goal across all competitions for the Rossoneri in nine appearances.The goal was not enough to salvage any points for Milan, though. Albert Guðmundsson found the winner for Fiorentina just 13 minutes after Pulisic's effort.
The confusing decisions on the pitch from the Milan players cost the side three points it desperately needed to get back into the Serie A race. Heading into the international break, the club sits in sixth place with just 11 points from seven matches.
