Christian Pulisic is off and running in Champions League—it just might have taken him a little longer than he'd have wanted.
In Tuesday's first leg of the round of 16 against Lille, the U.S. men's national team star secured his first goal of the competition this season to double Chelsea's lead.
On a counterattack in the 63rd minute, N'Golo Kanté drew in the defense and slipped a pass to Pulisic off to his left in what would be his third assist in his last six games. Pulisic gathered the pass and bundled it home in between the goalkeeper and a sliding defender.
