Christian Pulisic's World Cup is over after the USA were beaten 3-1 by the Netherlands in the round of 16. The Chelsea star had enjoyed some strong performances against the likes of England, Wales and Iran in the group stages but will now return back to the Blues.
Pulisic grabbed an assist as Haji Wright scored to make it 2-1 midway through the second half after Memphis Depay and Daley Blind had put the Netherlands 2-0 up at half-time. Denzel Dumfries, who could become Pulisic's teammate at Chelsea in January, followed up on his two assists to secure the win after making it 3-1 in the 81st minute.
The 24-year-old now becomes the latest Chelsea player to exit the tournament in Qatar as Graham Potter continues to prepare his squad for the resumption of Premier League action on Boxing Day. The Blues will face Bournemouth on Tuesday, December 27 to kick-off the second half of the season.
