The winger impressed throughout the full 90 minutes, leaving an indelible mark on the match.
Chukwueze’s contribution was highlighted by a key assist, setting up Christian Pulisic for Milan’s opening goal after just six minutes.
In a fine display of skill and finesse, Chukwueze dazzled down the right flank, the Nigerian international skillfully navigated past Lecce defenders before delivering a precise cross to Pulisic, who expertly curled the ball into the far top corner with a left-footed finish.
Chukwueze’s impact extended beyond his assist, as his relentless pressure and agile movements compelled the opposition to concede a red card, further tipping the scales in Milan’s favor.
Having made 19 appearances in the league this season, the 24-year-old winger continues to improve his stock in a debut season with AC Milan.
