Sky: Milan lethal from the first shot on target – Pulisic the leading sniper

The numbers show that AC Milan are clinical when it comes to taking the first opportunity that presents itself in games.

Milan have made a habit of scoring from their first shot on target this season, Sky (via MilanPress) point out. This was shown yesterday when Christian Pulisic scored with the first shot on target of the match (in the 46th minute of the first half).

It’s not the first time this season that it has happened for the Rossoneri, and the numbers thus far are impressive in terms of being clinical. Milan have in fact scored 11 times with their first shot on target of the game.

The team have scored twice with both their second and third shots on target, while failing to score on only one occasion (Juventus away). It must be pointed out that these numbers relate only to attempts on target: in some games shots will have gone wide before the first one on goal then went in.

The team’s best representative is Pulisic, who has already scored eight goals this season in Serie A in just 595 minutes played. What’s most impressive is his shot rate: 16 in total, only 11 on target, the numbers of a true sniper.
