Christian Pulisic forgets matchball after Chelsea hat trick

Christian Pulisic had a magical night for Chelsea on Saturday, netting a hat trick in a 4-2 win at Burnley for his first three Premier League goals in a man of the match performance, but he needed a different kind of assist from his teammates after the game.

The 21-year-old was so excited on his first league start since Aug. 31 to have bagged his first goals for Chelsea that he had to be reminded to take the match ball home.

"It's my first professional hat trick so I nearly forgot the match ball, luckily my teammates helped me out," Pulisic said.
