Christian Pulisic has admitted that the severity of his fever had him doubting his availability, but he ended up being AC Milan\u2019s match-winner again.<\/p>\n

It was a far from ideal start for Milan, and one that looked like extending their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino hoodoo. Nikola Vlasic converted a penalty in the 10th minute to put Torino one goal up, then Duvan Zapata doubled the advantage seven minutes later with a powerful low shot.<\/p>\n

The comeback was sparked by a bit of magic from Adrien Rabiot, who put a 25-yarder into the top corner in the 24th minute. Then it was the Pulisic show as he came off the bench, netting the equaliser within 60 seconds before netting the winner <\/a>with 13 minutes to go.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was truly dead\u2019<\/p>\n

Pulisic collected the Player of the Match award from Lega Serie A and then made his way over to speak to DAZN and Sky to reflect on the comeback<\/a>, with his post-match assessments coming via MilanNews<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From a fever of 39 degrees to a brace\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo days ago I was truly dead, today I felt much better. I\u2019m happy to have come here to help the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a season in which we aren\u2019t seeing Milan dominate games a lot\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a little strange. I want to find more rhythm. The team is doing very well this year. We\u2019re taking it game by game.\u201d<\/p>\n

How last-minute was the decision for you to play?<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday we didn\u2019t know if I could play, but this morning I felt much better. I\u2019m happy with the goals, but the important thing was to win the match.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milan stays up there thanks to you, and you continue to win individual awards\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cYes. I\u2019m always happy when I can help. I want to score more goals and assists. This is my job and I\u2019m happy with the three points.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christian Pulisic has admitted that the severity of his fever had him doubting his availability, but he ended…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-333952","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
