Christian Pulisic scored today to put Chelsea ahead of Valencia 2-1 in Champions League play. In a scramble in the box in the 50th minute, Pulisic put the ball between goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen’s legs for Chelsea’s second goal of the afternoon.
Valencia opened the scoring in the 40th minute before Mateo Kovacic leveled things just a minute later. Pulisic’s goal saw Chelsea take the lead for the first time in the match. Valencia would equalize off a Daniel Wass goal that was an intended cross that bounced off the post and into the net.
