Americans Abroad: Pulisic plays Robin to ‘Batsman’

Has Christian Pulisic gone from "Wonder Boy" to "Boy Wonder"?

The American teenager, less-than-affectionately referred to as the former by Alexi Lalas back in September 2017, is now staking some claim to the latter, following another assist in Borussia Dortmund's 2-0 win over Bobby Wood and Hamburg on Saturday.

In each of the last two weeks, Pulisic has assisted on a goal scored by Chelsea loanee Michy Batshuayi, who likes the nickname "Batsman." The pair combined on the second goal in Batshuayi's debut, a 3-2 win over Koln. And they did so again this week on what stood as the winner in the victory over Hamburg.
