Christian Pulisic scored an excellent goal for Borussia Dortmund in their German Cup defeat to Werder Bremen last night.
The American international was loaned back to the Bundesliga club after being signed by Chelsea for a fee of £58m last month. His strike put Dortmund 2-1 up on the night but his side lost on penalties:

Can people stop saying he's bad cos sancho plays instead of him. That doesn't mean pulisic is bad, it just shows how good sancho is if he can keep pulisic out of the dortmund side.

Pulisic has been in pretty poor form for Dortmund so far this campaign. How much that is down to his mind being on his move to Stamford Bridge, it remains to be seen.
Chelsea supporters will be keeping their finger’s crossed that he begins to show some improved performances off the back of his display yesterday.
Pulisic had been in high demand prior to the Blues clinching a deal for the 20-year-old with Liverpool and Arsenal among the clubs who were looking to sign the winger.
This season, the American has made 21 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals and contributing four assists.
