Source context
Christian Pulisic has admitted that he didn’t know whether to celebrate his goal against Udinese or not due to a potential offside. Milan ended up securing a rather comfortable 2-0 win over Udinese on Sunday night at the Stadio Friuli, and Pulisic got the team off to a great start with a moment of real quality early on. He brought down Luka Modric’s ball over the top with a lovely touch and then finished past Okoye. Omari Hutchinson would get the second goal in the second half to ultimately make sure of the three points in what was an important bounce-back performance from Ruben Amorim’s side after their defeat in Bournemouth. Pulisic spoke to DAZN after the game to offer his take on the win, with his words relayed by MilanNews. Can you tell us about the goal?
