With Pioli having exhausted his maximum allowed substitutions, the France international had to take a place between the sticks when his compatriot, Mike Maignan, was sent off.
In his short period in goal, the striker made one of the most important interventions in the game, a late double save, to ensure Pulisic's goal remained the winner.
The plaudits flowed in after the game, and he even made the Serie A team of the week as a goalkeeper.
