Christian Pulisic issues emphatic Eden Hazard response to 'horrible' Chelsea criticism

Christian Pulisic's first home goal for Chelsea since April ensured that Graham Potter would get his first home league win in one attempt. The American's delightful dink over Jose Sa gave the Blues the two-goal buffer they needed but deserved against Wolves and allowed for a second-half experiment and send off ahead of a massive trip to the San Siro on Tuesday night.

For the 24-year-old, his inclusion from the off was reason enough to celebrate. Before playing against Wolves he had made just one start in the previous nine matches and played only 160 league minutes this season. His 72 minutes at Stamford Bridge acted as a start to reviving his Chelsea career.

With a goal and an assist across the last two matches, one being a six-minute cameo against Crystal Palace, Pulisic needs to impress Potter when he's given the chance. He was an unused substitute in midweek against AC Milan but came into the Blues XI against Wolves.
