2/7
Taking The Man On

Up until 66 mins it was a good battle between the teams. However, Ajax probably was edging it slightly. As soon as Pulisic came on, his directness and attacking the space was a big threat to Ajax. His confidence was forcing Ajax to backtrack.

3/7
Classic Wide Play

He stayed as wide as possible, literally hugging the touchline to stretch the game and exploit all the space. This opened up the game a lot more and players like CHO were finding linking up play a lot easier.

4/7
Pace & Energy

Ajax simply had no answer to Pulisic's energy and pace off the bench. They literally conceded the possession to him and hoped for the best. Pulisic took the opportunity to drive whenever he could and found shooting opportunities. Big chance missed by Batman!

5/7
Dribble/Link-Up/Shoot

This was once again some sublime wing play. Excellent direct dribbling and linking up with Batshuayi. His game was bringing the entire Chelsea team together by being more intricate with their movement.

If only Pulisic scored this đŸ˜±

6/7
The Assist

The match-winning assist came on the 86th min when Pulisic drove into the box & delivered a fast left-footed cross which was met by Batshuayi.

The match finished at 0-1 & a massive 3 points earned by Chelsea away from home. Big part of the 3 points was Pulisic!
