Christian Pulisic shines in hopeful first half despite Chelsea defeat

Chelsea have just lost to Wolves, and fans are annoyed, to say the least.

Looking around for positives, there was one clear standout: Christian Pulisic.

This team needed him back desperately with no other wings fit, and he delivered with a really dangerous first half showing.

As you can see from the stats available below, the US star was a menace, and the player most likely to create anything for the Blues.

Winning 8 duels in a game is impressive – winning 8 in one half is pretty remarkable, especially for a player returning from injury.

His second half performance was less impressive, although many blamed this on the way he was switched to the opposite flank by Frank Lampard. His tiredness, having not completed 90 minutes in some time, will also have played a role in his decline towards the end of the game.

Going forward, we’ll need him to start doing this every week.
