BURNLEY, England (Reuters) - Christian Pulisic failed to hit the ground running at Chelsea after finally joining the west London side from Borussia Dortmund but staked a strong claim for a first team spot with a magnificent performance in a 4-2 win at Burnley on Saturday.

The 21-year old U.S. international became the youngest Chelsea player to score a Premier League hat-trick, beating Tammy Abraham's record which had stood for just 42 days.
