Christian Pulisic became the youngster Chelsea player ever to score a Premier League hat-trick during their 4-2 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

The 21-year-old netted with his left-foot, right-foot and head before Willian made it four, and two late goals from Jay Rodriguez and Dwight McNeil did little to dampen the visitors’ mood as they sealed a seventh successive victory.

Pulisic had the biggest smile on his face as he walked over to collect the match ball from Michael Oliver, which he nearly forgot to do.

“It’s actually my first professional hat-trick so I nearly forgot the match ball. Luckily my team-mates helped me out,” he said after the game.
