‘He’s got great athleticism, goes through a West Ham player legs’ – Graeme Souness hails Chelsea player after 1-0 win over West Ham

The Blues are back to winning ways after Pulisic left it late with his winning goal against West Ham.

However, Christian Pulisic was substituted in the second-half and the American captain was in the right place at the right time to knock in a strike into the net, following a fine assist from Marcos Alonso.

Following the victory, Liverpool legend Graeme Souness was full of praise for the contribution of Alonso, as he believes that the assist from the Spaniard was a beautiful one.

Souness told Sky Sports: “Alonso’s got great athleticism.” 

“It goes through a West Ham player’s legs and they’ve just not got enough bodies in there.”

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel hailed Pulisic after the game, and also praised him personally for making an impact.

On the match-winner Pulisic, Tuchel told Sky Sports: “I am happy for him. I told him he had good impact.”
