Christian Pulisic equalized with an assist from Olivier Giroud that left him alone to shoot past the goalkeeper, while Samuel Chukwueze scored the final goal at 84′ in a counterattack where Noah Okafor ended up setting him up.
The ‘Rossoneri’ finished third with eight points, leaving them on the outside with a goal difference of -2. The Italian club will play in the Europa League, and the English team will be out of international competition for the rest of the season.
