It seems that Christian Pulisic really seems to like UEFA Champions League nights. The USMNT star, who had previously scored for Chelsea in the first leg, has now tied the game for the Blues against Lille.
The return leg of the round of 16 didn’t start well for Thomas Tuchel‘s boys, who were trailing by one after a spot-kick goal from Burak Yilmaz put the hosts ahead in France, reducing the gap in aggregate.
Despite Chelseawon 2-0 at home, Lille’s early goal put the visitors’ backs against the wall as they were just oneaway from losing any advantage. However, Pulisic extended the aggregate lead shortly before the halftime.
