Christian Pulisic, who had been labeled a “flop” at Chelsea, scored a stunning goal on his Serie A debut for AC Milan on Monday.
The American international, who joined Milan from Chelsea in the summer, opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a curling shot from outside the box.
The goal was a perfect way for Pulisic to announce himself to his new fans, and it silenced his critics who had questioned his ability to succeed in Italy.
Pulisic had a mixed spell at Chelsea, scoring 20 goals in 98 appearances. However, he was often criticized for his inconsistency and lack of end product. He was also hampered by injuries, which limited his playing time.

Despite spending over $1 billion on players since Todd Boehly’s takeover last year, Chelsea has picked up just 1 point from their opening two Premier League matches.
Thousands of fans commented on Pulisic’s performance and goal against bologna trolling Chelsea for letting him leave for a relatively low fee.
Many highlight how the Premier League side signed Mykhaylo Mudryk for €100m in January.
The 22-year-old was supposed to be an upgrade to Pulisic but has yet to leave his mark at Stamford Bridge having yet to score his first goal in 19 appearances with the club.
Pulisic’s move to Milan was seen as a fresh start for the 24-year-old. He is now playing under Stefano Pioli, who is known for his attacking style of play.
Pulisic has already shown that he is capable of fitting into Pioli’s system, and he will be hoping to continue his good form in the coming weeks and months.
Pulisic’s goal against Bologna was a reminder of his talent. He is a technically gifted player with a great eye for goal. He is also a hard worker and he is always willing to track back and defend.
If Pulisic can stay fit and continue to perform at a high level, he could be a key player for Milan this season.
