An award. A game-winning goal. It was a very good week for Christian Pulisic, but as is often the case for the teenager, the end product is just a means for a new beginning.
It was a week that saw Pulisic get a pair of starts under new Dortmund manager Peter Stoger, win the United States Men's Soccer Player of the Year award and, to cap it off, deliver the decisive finish to net his club three points against a man who might be his manager in the future.
The goal Saturday against Hoffenheim was a moment of class from Pulisic as he burst into the area in the 89th minute to latch onto a Shinji Kagawa pass.
