On the weekend that the clocks went back in England, it was timely that Christian Pulisic offered a glimpse towards a brighter future at Chelsea by scoring his first goals for the club with a hat trick in Saturday's 4-2 victory at Burnley.
Until his trip to Turf Moor, the United States winger had endured a difficult start to life at Chelsea following his £58 million ($74.5m) summer arrival from Borussia Dortmund. Not only had the 21-year-old failed to score a goal for Frank Lampard's team during the opening two months of the season, he had begun to look like an expensive misfit, with his new manager displaying more faith in home-grown youngsters Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
