Christian Pulisic made a sensational statement with his perfect hat-trick at Burnley - and is now aiming to kick on with Chelsea after previously struggling to battle into Frank Lampard's first-team plans.

Christian, an American who was handed his first league start since August at Turf Moor on Saturday night. He seized his chance of becoming Chelsea's youngest-ever Premier League hat-trick scorer in the visitors' 4-2 win.

After months on the fringes and fighting for game time, the 21-year-old, £57.6m signing from Borussia Dortmund could not hide his delight after the full-time whistle.
