Chelsea winger Pulisic: I don't feel pressure from back home

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic insists he doesn't feel any extra pressure from US soccer fans.

Pulisic hit a hat-trick in victory at Burnley on Saturday.

"I don't feel pressure from back home at all," Pulisic said.

"I know who I need to worry about at home and that is my family and my closest friends and those who care about me.

"And I have their support and that is what matters to me."

He added: "Of course there is a sense of relief — you could see that in my emotions after the first goal. That relief of getting my first goal and being able to help my team at this level. It's really good for me."
