Christian Pulisic enjoyed an impressive AC Milan debut in a 7-0 win over Lumezzane.

Thursday's 60-minute pre-season friendly against third-tier Italian opposition took place at Milan's training center.

USMNT star Pulisic - who joined Milan in a £20 million transfer from Chelsea earlier this month - started the match and made an almost instant impact.

Playing on the left in a 4-3-3 formation, Pulisic was on fire in the early stages of the game as he claimed two assists inside the first 17 minutes.

Highlights: AC Milan 7-0 Lumezzane

Pulisic assisted the game's opening goal in the fifth minute by controlling a long-range pass, dribbling past right-back Kevin Tortelli and pulling the ball back for Tommaso Pobega.

Pobega also scored Milan's second goal. This time Pulisic arrived at the far post to meet a cross from Junior Messias but, instead of shooting, he calmly cushioned a volleyed pass into Pobega's path.

Messias and Lorenzo Colombo joined Pobega on the scoresheet before half-time.

Colombo then netted again in the second half, before strikes from Kevin Zeroli and Luka Romero completed the rout.
