Premier League: Christain Pulisic Scores Perfect Hat-trick In Chelsea's Away Win At Burnley


Christain Pulisic snapped his goal-drought at Chelsea only to lead the side through with a hat-trick in their 4-2 away win over Burnley. 

Chelsea earned well-deserved maximum points to be in a comfortable place in the top-four with five points clear closest team, Arsenal, which followed in the fifth position with 15 points. But, it will be a memorable day for the American winger, Pulisic, for having completed his first hattrick for the side he joined from Borussia Dortmund after a loan spell.   

Burnley had themselves to blame for the first two goals which came off a poor defensive play and Pulisic did not waste time with the chances rather he pounded in straight two goals in the first half. Meanwhile, Burnley could have got an equalizer shortly of Pulisic's opener but goalkeeper Kepe Arrizabalaga made a nice save of Erick Pieters' shot. 

After the break, the 21-year-old completed a perfect hat-trick with a brilliant header following a cross from Mason Mount. Clarets dropped even further in the scoreline when Tammy Abraham set Willian off with a pass and the Brazilian smacked it straight away into the net for the fourth goal.

With less than five minutes to play, Clarets staged a retaliation that would not stop the defeat. First, it was Jay Rodriguez who beat Kepa Arrizabalaga with a stunning right-footed shot from 25-yard and Dwight McNeil added in the second goal to trim down Chelsea's lead to 4-2. 

Nonetheless, it will be Chelsea's sixth away win in all competitions and the American became the club's youngest player to score a hattrick in the Premier League. 

The club's manager, Frank Lampard, told the Sky Sports after the match that he "really enjoyed watching" his men play today and for Pulisic, he was "delighted" to watch him netting goals
