After scoring a fluky goal against Club Bruges in the Champions League Tuesday (although a hugely important one that secured all three points for Borussia Dortmund), Christian Pulisic made it two goals in two games after salvaging a point for BVB against Hoffenheim Saturday.
Perhaps most importantly from an individual perspective, the 20-year-old went the full 90 minutes for the first time this season after being sidelined at the start of the campaign with a muscular injury.
But Pulisic put in a strong performance on the right wing for Dortmund today, completing a four dribbles (more than anyone else on the pitch), providing two key passes and scoring with his only shot of the match — this one-touch finish following a low cross from Marco Reus.
Watching Reus and Pulisic combine never, ever gets old.

He should've gotten an assist in the match as well.
Christian Pulisic is in form. Gliding by defenders and creating chances.
