Chelsea's Christian Pulisic scores first Premier League goal against Burnley

Christian Pulisic has scored his first two Premier League goals after being handed the start for Chelsea against Burnley on Saturday.

The U.S. international was named in the starting XI after his impactful role off the substitutes' bench in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Pulisic had struggled for minutes since arriving at Stamford Bridge in the summer following his €64 million transfer from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, but he made his mark in the first half against Burnley.

Both of the 21-year old's goals came off stellar individual efforts following hard-charging runs from the midfield.
