Christian Pulisic scores first goal of season as he vies for minutes with Chelsea

Christian Pulisic scored his first goal of the English Premier League season Saturday, chipping a second-half shot into the back of the net in Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge.

Pulisic’s goal came as he continues to fight for minutes under new coach Graham Potter, who has largely excluded the U.S. men’s national team star from his early-season lineups as the World Cup approaches next month.

Pulisic entered Saturday having logged just 167 minutes in seven Premier League matches this season. He started one of those games, against West Ham last month, and produced an assist off the bench against Crystal Palace last Saturday.
