Chelsea star Christian Pulisic involved in mass brawl during USMNT vs Mexico as four sent off

Christian Pulisic starred for USMNT as they booked their place in the CONCACAF Nations League final on Monday after a heated clash with Mexico. The Chelsea winger bagged a brace with a goal either side of the break to put interim coach BJ Callaghan's side into a comfortable lead.

The game escalated into violence late on, though. Before Ricardo Pepi made it 3-0 there was time for a red card per team with Weston McKennie being sent off as he defended new USA star Folarin Balogun. The Arsenal ace was kicked by Cesar Montes in an aggressive fashion and sparked a mass brawl.

In a dramatic game, Montes lashed out at Balogun after he had dribbled away from the Mexico player, cleaning out his ankle in the process. McKennie jumped to the defence of his new teammate, being faced with masses of green jerseys in the process.
