Chelsea fans were left impressed by the performance of Christian Pulisic in the USA’s 3-0 CONCACAF Nations League victory over Mexico.

The USMNT’s victory will be remembered for the chaos that ensued in the match, with four players sent off and the match paused because of homophobic chanting.

Amid the mayhem of the Las Vegas fixture, which saw Weston McKennie, Sergino Dest, Cesar Montes and Gerardo Arteaga dismissed in a crazy 20-minute period at the end of the game, Chelsea star Christian Pulisic won acclaim for a two-goal salvo.

It was a continuation of his excellent form for the USMNT, with whom he now has seven goals and four assists in his last 10 matches.

His opener in Vegas was an opportunistic strike as he reacted quickly to something of a scramble in the box to turn the ball into the net 10 minutes before the interval.

Less than a minute into the second half, the No.10 slid in at the back post to make it 2-0 after a Timo Weah centre.

Ricardo Pepi later completed the scoring after a foul on debutant Folarin Balogun sparked an ugly end to the game in which Weston McKennie was sent off with his jersey torn virtually in two.

Chelsea fans impressed by Pulisic vs Mexico

Chelsea fans watching on were astonished that after Pulisic’s performance, he is at threat of being sold ahead of Mykhailo Mudryk, who has made next to no impression since arriving at the club from Shakhtar Donetsk in January for an initial fee of €70 million.

“Pulisic is literally streets ahead of that 100m fraud,” one claimed.

“I’m not joking in the slightest when I say he’s better than Mudryk,” a second said.

“It’s astonishing the club decides to sell him while we still employ players like Mudryk,” another chipped in.

A fourth added: “Mudryk cost 100 million and isn’t an upgrade on any of our attackers.”
