It means a third win on the spin, and also a third match in a row without conceding a goal.<\/p>\n<p>Pulisic was the star of the show, as was reflected with the Player of the Match award he got from Lega Serie A. He scored the first goal just before the break, firing home a loose ball inside the box after a parry from Sava in the Udinese goal.<\/p>\n<p>Just after the break Youssouf Fofana netted the second of the night after some hustle from the American to win the ball back.

I\u2019m very happy with this victory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Is this starting to look like Allegri\u2019s idea of Milan?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing here isn\u2019t easy. We\u2019re very solid at the back and we do well defensively with five men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Can Milan strive for anything?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a great team. Now it\u2019s important to find consistency: it\u2019s important to take it one game at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How many POTM rewards do you already have at home?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know (laughs). Maybe ten. But the important thing is the victory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How are Modric and Rabiot helping?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a team with many strong players. Modric and his experience help us a lot. We have to keep it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How many goals do you want to get?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know. For me, winning trophies and matches is more important.
