Chelsea, USMT Star Christian Pulisic Scores First Goal of Premier League Season

In a season that's been marred by injury, Chelsea midfielder and USMT star Christian Pulisic finally broke through in Sunday's 3-1 win over Leeds.

In the 93rd minute, Pulisic streaked down the middle of the field on a Chelsea counter attack, beating the Leeds defense to the box. He received a cross from Timo Werner and beat Leeds goal keeper Illan Meslier to the far post.

Leeds took a 1-0 lead in the 4th minute on a Patrick Bamford goal, but Chelsea drew level in the 27th minute thanks to a goal from Olivier Giroud. The two sides were tied, 1-1, at halftime, and Chelsea took the lead for good in the 61st minute on a score by defender Kurt Zouma.
