Chelsea winger Pulisic elated after scoring Nations League winner for USMNT

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic was in dreamland after lifting another trophy just eight days after winning the Champions League.

Playing for the United States, the 22-year-old scored the winning penalty in a 3-2 victory over Mexico to claim the inaugural CONCACAF Nations League trophy.

"It's just the perfect way to end the year, honestly," he told CBS after the game.

"I'm so proud. I'm so proud of this group, and we needed everyone today and it was a phenomenal performance.

"We're so proud and we still have a long way to go but we're happy with this."

On his penalty, Pulisic added: "I said I'm gonna go out swinging and I'm just going put this top bins and I did."
