Pulisic did score the winning goal, but Maignan was the Man Of The Match at San Siro, delivering six saves, including a penalty stop on Hakan Calhanoglu.

Pulisic already said in a post-match interview that Maignan had been the best player on the pitch, but then he also took to social media to praise the French keeper.
