Chelsea legend Ashley Cole praised Christian Pulisic for his “quality” performances after the American forward scored in their 3-2 win at Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.

The United States international continued his excellent form since the return of Premier League football following the enforced three-month break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Pulisic scored against Aston Villa and Manchester City last month before the 21-year-old drew a blank against Leicester City, West Ham United and Watford in their last three games.

But the American playmaker scored Chelsea’s second goal in a five-goal thriller at Selhurst Park after Pulisic produced great footwork and a clinical finish in the 27th minute.

Pulisic’s goal was his eighth of the Premier League season to help the Chelsea midfielder to continue to make his mark in English football following his transfer last summer.

Former Chelsea defender Cole praised Pulisic for his fearless performances in the Blues midfield after the American left his mark in a 3-2 win at Palace.

“He brings quality to Chelsea,” Cole told Sky Sports. “He has so much confidence. He is going at players without fear. It’s a great finish to take it from his right foot to his left foot.”

Meanwhile, former QPR and Manchester City star Rodney Marsh took to Twitter to praise Pulisic for his display.

“Pulisic is having one of those purple patches where he goes past defenders like cones,” Marsh wrote on Twitter.
