Christian Pulisic had an assist and a hockey assist in the first 17 minutes of Chelsea’s trip to Norwich on Saturday, as four goals were scored in a crazy first half.

Pulisic, 20, was playing on the right of midfield and the assist was his first in the Premier League.
The USMNT star set up Cesar Azpilicueta to cross and Tammy Abraham rifled home.
We’d call this a hockey assist, right?

After Norwich equalized he then slotted in Mason Mount to make it 2-1 with a perfectly weighted pass (see the video above).
It was a lovely assist for Pulisic, who was causing all kinds of problems drifting inside from the right flank, but Norwich were causing Chelsea just as many problems as Teemu Pukki mad it 2-2 before the break in a breathtaking, end-to-end encounter.
