Christian Pulisic spoke about his brilliant performance in a 4-2 victory over Burnley. In an interview to BBC’s Match of the Day, the American confessed he almost forgot about a very important tradition.
Pulisic said: “It’s my first professional hat-trick so I nearly forgot the match ball, luckily my teammates helped me out!”
Here’s Pulisic with the ball and his Man of the Match award:
“I just want to be on the field, help the team and make an impact. I didn’t think it would be super easy.
But I have come on a few times the past few weeks and was happy to start today, it was a special day.
“There are young guys in the team but we forget about that when we go out there. It’s a fun team to play with now and we just want to keep this run going.”
Christian Pulisic has scored his first goals for Chelsea, making his first Premier League start since 31 August.
