Christian Pulisic played a massive role in the USA's opening goal against Wales at the World Cup on Monday. Timothy Weah put Gregg Berhalter's side in front after he latched onto a wonderful Pulisic pass.
Wales had been second best for much of the game, with Pulisic being allowed time and space to turn and attack the Wales back line and on another instance of that movement, he set up Weah for the opener.
Pulisic galloped past an out-of-position Joe Rodon after picking up possession just inside the Welsh before he perfectly picked out the run of Weah who showed great composure to finish beyond on Wayne Hennessey.
The finish was superb from Weah but everyone was talking about the role of Blues attacker Pulisic in the goal, here is how Twitter reacted:
