Christian Pulisic has been the best Chelsea player since the Premier Legaue restart and the 21 year old has scored against Aston Villa, and also backed it up with another stunner against Manchester city at Stamford Bridge.
However, he also played a massive role against Leicester city and last night put on a massive performance against Watford. However, In the 3-0 win over Watford, it appeared his spirit, fight and skill had not deteriorated one bit, with the American being at the forefront of the Chelsea’s attacking play.
From the start, the winger was positive, aggressive in his play and linking up effectively with Olivier Giroud. On several occasions Pulisic played in the French striker in the first half and gave the striker a real chance.
The American was on the end of some nasty fouls as well, taking something of a battering from the Hornets players at times. However, this reminds Chelsea fans about Eden Hazard excelled at the ability to make magic out of little, and have the ability to bounce back when knocked down.
In a race for the Champions League places, which is set to go down to the wire, that is what the Blues are going to need more than anything.
There have already been long stints last season with Borussia Dortmund where he was out injured, while this season he also spent a long time on the sidelines. Pulisic is the key and the bright spark for Chelsea that they will need when things are not going their way.
Hazard was that man for Chelsea for several seasons, and if Chelsea are to get one of the four Champions League spots, Pulisic must take up that mantle.
