USMNT abroad: Christian Pulisic, DeAndre Yedlin and goals galore

There were many goals from USMNT players abroad this week. Find out who got on the scoresheet, including, again, Christian Pulisic.

This incredible run of form by Chrisitan Pulisic doesn’t show any signs of stopping in the near future. On Saturday, the United States Men’s National Team star scored yet another goal for Chelsea.

His header put Chelsea 2-0 up against Crystal Palace to give the home side all three points. Pulisic’s performance capped off another impressive week for him.

Pulisic was excellent in this match. Joel Ward struggled to contain his slaloming his dribbling throughout, he nearly scored a brilliant early strike after putting Ward on the floor, and then topped off his display with a true goalscorer’s strike to follow the ball and convert a rebound.

In midweek action, he played 90 minutes in the wild 4-4 draw with Ajax in UEFA Champions League action. The 21-year-old midfielder’s confidence has to be sky-high heading into the international break.

Pulisic wasn’t the only USMNT player to score in the Premier League over the weekend. Defender DeAndre Yedlin scored for Newcastle United during their 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, also converting with his head to secure the three points for Steve Bruce’s side. Yedlin is shining in a right wing-back role that makes the most of his superb athleticism and speed.

Meanwhile, UEFA Europa League action, Tyler Boyd got on the scoresheet for Besiktas against Braga. Despite his club’s 3-1 loss, the goal from the forward was worth a watch.

Julian Green produced a splendid freekick in the 2. Bundesliga for Greuther Furth, although his side lost 3-2 to SV Sandhausen, while Emmanuel Sabbi scored for Hobro in a 2-2 draw with Nordsjælland in the Danish top flight. And yes, if you were wondering, that is a whole of goals for USMNT players from across the globe.
