Agyemang and Wright score late winners as Pulisic and Milan survive Lecce
Goal reports USMNT strikers Patrick Agyemang and Haji Wright took centre stage for Americans abroad as Christian Pulisic and AC Milan survived a frustrating win against Lecce.
Haji Wright, who had not scored for his club since October and had lost his spot to Ellis Simms, came off the bench and on the 85th minute mark lunged at the back post to turn home a cross-shot from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, keeping Coventry's lead at six points and steadying the team after a run of one win in four.
Patrick Agyemang also delivered late, nodding home an 82nd-minute winner for mid-table Derby after beating his man to a floated cross and sending the ball past a sprawling goalkeeper; the result leaves a playoff spot five points away.
Christian Pulisic played 73 minutes alongside Rafael Leao and saw two shots saved before Niclas Fullkrug's 76th-minute goal ultimately decided the match, leaving Milan within three points of Inter, who currently lead Serie A; elsewhere, some Americans had mixed weekends, with Chris Richards and Weston McKennie among those noted as struggling.
