Christian Pulisic is turning out to be a great signing for the Blues. The American forward has been a regular starter for Chelsea since his hattrick against Burnley in October. He again had a very good match yesterday, and managed to score his 5th goal in 14 matches for Chelsea.

The 21-year-old started as the wide man on the left and made some darting runs to the opposition penalty box through the inside-left channel. His speed and ball skills were on display from the very beginning of the match. He exchanged some quality passed and opened up spaces in the final third in the first period.

In the second half too, he continued to excel and scored in the 79th minute to round off the tally. He collected the ball in the middle third and played it to Batshuyayi before venturing into the box. Batshuayi’s shot deflected off a Palace defender and Pulisic was there to head the ball in from close range. The goal emphasised his importance in the current Chelsea line-up to a great extent.
