Christian Pulisic's pinpoint effort just moments before half-time guided Chelsea into the Champions League quarter-final with a 4-1 aggregate win over Lille. The 23-year-old spearheaded Thomas Tuchel's frontline alongside Kai Havertz with excellent effect.
The United States international's performance earmarked his reemergence as one of the Blues' most prominent threats, having now directly contributed towards a goal every 89 minutes in the competition this season. Pulisic, whose development has often been hampered by injuries since swapping the Signal Iduna Park for Stamford Bridge in 2019, has enjoyed Tuchel's latest vote of confidence and has repaid the German's faith by showing clear signs of improvement.
Earlier this month, the German boss told Pulisic that he needs to 'focus' in order to take his game to the next level at Chelsea. Tuchel noted his desire to see the winger transition into a Raheem Sterling type role.
