MILAN — Christian Pulisic was the hero for AC Milan with his two goals helping the Rossoneri end a three-match losing streak in Serie A. Pulisic first earned and converted a penalty to level the score at 2-2. The United States international — who is nicknamed "Captain America" — then scored the late winner in a 3-2 victory at Lecce. Milan inched up to eighth in the Italian league. League leader Inter Milan also surprisingly had to fight back from two goals down to win 3-2 at home to bottom club Monza. Inter moved four points ahead of second-placed Napoli, which hosts Fiorentina on Sunday.
