USMNT fans lament Christian Pulisic having the 'WORST luck' after he is FINALLY given his chance for Chelsea... only to have a goal ruled out for a soft foul and being turned down a penalty in lively first half

Christian Pulisic made his return to the Chelsea starting XI, but was denied a goal scoring chance via two questionable decisions from referee Simon Hooper.

In the 14', Pulisic had a breakaway chance in the box when cameras caught Bournemouth defender Adam Smith seemingly pulling Pulisic by his shirt. The American went down, but no penalty was given.

Later on, in the 44', Pulisic put the ball in the back of the net, but it was overturned when a foul preceded the goal.

Pulisic was taken out of the 2-0 win in the 82' with three shots and one chance created, according to FotMob.
