In Torino-Milan there is a first ever: it had never happened to him in his career, all the details
Prima volta in carriera per Pulisic (ANSA) – MilanLive.it
Milan continues to accumulate disappointments in this season that seems cursed. The Rossoneri, after being eliminated from the Champions League at the hands of Feyenoord in the week, lost today to Vanoli’s Torino, and it is a heavy defeat because it further distances the team from fourth place. It was a match that started crookedly with Thiaw’s resounding own goal with big responsibility on Maignan, who sent straight back over the German’s body and the ball went in the goal.
But the horrors do not end there: the second Torino goal stems from a very serious inattention of the defenders, who after a foul got distracted in protest and conceded insertion and goal. In between, then, another negative episode that is the missed penalty by Christian Pulisic in the first half. In short, it is all rather simple: if there is something that can go wrong, it will go wrong. And speaking of the penalty missed by the American, it is a first for him ever in his career.
Pulisic sbaglia il rigore per la prima volta
Until this evening, Pulisic had 100 percent of career penalties scored: he had scored 12 out of 12 between the national team, Borussia Dortmund and, indeed, AC Milan. With the Rossoneri he scored this season against Venezia, Juventus and Parma. You will all remember what happened in Florence against Fiorentina: as the designated penalty taker, he did not kick even one of the two that were awarded (and then missed) by Milan.

Tonight against Torino his positive streak came to a halt: on his 13th attempt, Pulisic missed the first penalty of his career. He could not fail to do so against Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, the penalty taker par excellence: he has saved four out of four this season, thus equaling Gianluigi Donnarumma’s record. Big disappointment for Christian, who had also kicked quite well: very good of the goalkeeper to stretch to his right and neutralize the former Chelsea man’s shot. But this is just another sign Milan attracts negative episodes.
