Fans hail 'world class' Christian Pulisic as he FINALLY gets his chance and instantly sets up Chelsea winner off the bench... and USMNT star now has more assists than Mason Mount this season despite playing a QUARTER of the minutes

Christian Pulisic has been praised by fans after an impactful substitute appearance Saturday, as the American came off the bench to assist Conor Gallagher's stunning Chelsea winner vs. Crystal Palace.

The American winger played just over 10 minutes after not entering the match until the 84th minute, but made his presence felt as he drove in from the left and supplied the pass for Gallagher's decisive strike inside the 90th minute.

Pulisic has now started just one of Chelsea's opening seven matches, but fans were quick to speak of his quality - and question that of a teammate's - after the tidy assist.
