Hargreaves: Pulisic absolutely magnificent for Chelsea win

Champions League winner Owen Hargreaves hailed Christian Pulisic's cameo for Chelsea's Champions League win at Ajax.

Pulisic came on for Willian in the second half in Amsterdam and made an instant impression before Michy Batshuayi scored a late winner.

"Pulisic is a really good player, technically," former England midfielder Hargreaves said on BT Sport.

"He probably hasn't had the game time he would have liked, but on the weekend he was brilliant and he came on in this game and he was terrific.

"Pulisic was absolutely magnificent. Every time he touched the ball, something really good happened, and that is really good for Frank and he is another asset.

"Obviously [Callum] Hudson-Odoi is another brilliant young player, and they have lots of good assets there, to go with your Pedros and your Willians."
