Christian Pulisic believes Thursdayâs win over Manchester City is the start of something big for Chelsea.
The Blues deserved the win over the former Premier League champions and that result has opened up a five-point gap between them and 5th placed Manchester United.
And after taking his goal brilliantly to open the scoring following a defensive error from Cityâs Benjamin Mendy, Pulisic says Chelsea are now determined to finish the season strongly.
âWe have to capitalise on opportunities like [the first goal],â the United states international told the clubâs official website.
âI had another one in the second half as well [which was cleared off the line by Kyle Walker] but Iâm just happy to help the team out by scoring. We needed it and weâre just happy to get the three points.
âWe went into the game with a really confident mindset to go out and win. Obviously we want to finish the season strongly but we feel weâre capable of a lot more as well.â
Frank Lampardâs side travel to face Leicester in the FA Cup this weekend and with seven games of the league season remaining, Pulisic says heâs buzzing to be playing again.
âThe break was tough on a lot of people but Iâm just really happy that we can come back and play football again,â he added.
âItâs a bit different without the fans but weâre really excited to be back out there.
âThere are a lot of games to play. We want to go as far as we can in the FA Cup and we want to continue finishing strong so we can be secure in a Champions League spot. We have a lot to play for.â
