Pulisic on scoresheet in Europa League winAmerican gets toe on Leao's late effortFans have their say in Instagram commentsGettyWHAT HAPPENED?
Pulisic got himself on the scoresheet in a chaotic Europa League encounter at San Siro on Thursday evening. Following some impressive work by Milan team-mate Rafael Leao, which saw the Portuguese glide past numerous challenges before shooting goalward, Pulisic stuck out a toe to turn home from close range. While the effort was certainly going on target it may have been blocked on the line, meaning his touch was necessary, but that didn't stop USMNT fans teasing their Hershey-born forward for "stealing" the effort.

In an Instagram post from the official USMNT page celebrating Pulisic's goal, fans couldn't hold back pointing out that he had some help in that effort.
Instagram user @kbeastiii_disc_dyes summarised it well, writing "Good goal, but ngl bro stole it from Leao". And @mohaalba11 echoed those thoughts, joking "Leao must be fuming". Some were more harsh in their assessment, such as @calebm_, who simply put "Stop stealing goals".

The USMNT forward will no doubt be unfazed by such chat and appeared happy with this achievements after the full-time whistle, as he told : "Of course it’s nice to get a goal, this is my job and I have to continue to put pressure on their defenders and cause problems and help us to try and score goals. I can be happy, but we would like to win with more goals.”
