WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Thirteen minutes after Pulisic equalised, Fiorentina restored their lead as Albert Gudmundsson netted the winning goal for his side. After the match, questions were raised over Fonseca's decision to replace the team's best player on the pitch when the club was trailing. He explained that it was a prudent decision to protect the American from serious injury.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to DAZN, the manager said, "It was out of caution with Pulisic, he had a problem with his flexor during the week. Chukwueze came in well and created opportunities."</p>

WHAT PAULO FONSECA SAID

<p>The Rossoneri, who suffered their second defeat of the ongoing Serie A season, will be next seen in action after the international break against Udinese on October 19.</p>
