Pulisic, Nkunku Lead Milan’s 3–0 Rout of Verona to Keep Heat on Serie A Leaders

The win extends a four-month domestic unbeaten run, with Milan now concentrating on the Scudetto after cup exits.

Overview

  • Christian Pulisic struck just before halftime and Christopher Nkunku added a penalty and a second goal early in the second half at San Siro.
  • Milan briefly moved top with the victory before Inter later reclaimed first place by beating Atalanta, leaving the Rossoneri a point back, with Napoli close behind.
  • The result stretches Milan’s unbeaten streak in domestic competition to roughly four months after their only league loss on opening day.
  • Santiago Giménez remained unavailable as he recovers from injury, and Milan are reported to anticipate adding Niclas Fullkrug in the winter window.
  • Hellas Verona stay mired in the relegation zone after the defeat, continuing a difficult league campaign.
