Christian Pulisic scored for the second time in a week as AC Milan recorded a commanding 1-0 victory over Empoli.

The American’s 41st minute goal took Milan above Juventus in the battle for second in Seria A with their rivals playing later the same day.

Despite being in dominant form throughout the match AC Milan failed to find a second goal which almost cost them dearly.

Relegation threatened Empoli stayed in the match and substitute Mattia Destro had three opportunities to level the tie.

The Italian’s best chance came four minutes from time with a free header inside the Milan box which sailed into the arms of goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

The hosts held on for an 18th league win of the season but remain 16 points behind city rivals Inter.

Pulisic’s deflected goal followed his late effort in their 4-2 win against Slavia Prague, who they meet again for the second leg of their Europa League tie on Thursday.
