Chelsea FC are on a roll this season. Currently sitting at the top of the table, the European Champions continue to enjoy life under Thomas Tuchel. However, the form of Chelsea’s USMNT star, Christian Pulisic, has been a source of constant worry for the blues.

The American striker has rarely featured this season as he has been struggling a lot with injuries. However, there was never a doubt about his caliber, given his heroics of the past, but he has only played sparsely since the start of the season, adding concern to his future at Chelsea.

Christian Pulisic scores again in the Premier League

However, things might look better for Pulisic now. He was brilliant in Chelsea’s match against Leicester City and got a goal for all of his hard work. In fact, he had an assist as well, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Nevertheless, Pulisic was in the right place at the right time to get his second Premier League goal in three games this season.

The match was a statement win for Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea as the club beat Leicester City by 3-0. Antonio Rudiger opened the scoring in the 14th minute, followed by ex-Leicester star, N’golo Kante, bagging Chelsea’s second, 14 minutes later with a sumptuous strike.
