Pulisic vs Hazard: Chelsea’s new trickster has more goals and dribbles than club legend at same stage of career
Jul 6, 2020
FRANK LAMPARD reckons Christian Pulisic is "not quite Eden Hazard, but he's getting there" but the stats tell a different story.
In fact Chelsea's American star has scored more and completed more dribbles than club legend Hazard had at the same stage of his Chelsea career, according to figures revealed today by SunSport.
Pulisic played his 20th Premier League game for the Blues during their 3-0 win over Watford at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
And although he didn't register an official goal or assist, he was brought down by Etienne Capoue for the penalty Willian scored to put Chelsea 2-0 up just before half-time.
However, he has scored twice since lockdown - one each in Chelsea's victories over Aston Villa and Manchester City - taking his total goal tally to seven.

Hazard had just four by the same stage of his Chelsea career.
Pulisic's 46 completed dribbles is also more than 50 per cent better than Hazard's 28 from his first 20 Premier League games.
The Belgian icon who left Stamford Bridge for Real Madrid last summer did have more overall goal contributions as his six assists eclipse Pulisic's two.
But Lampard will hope that the American's promising start to his Blues career will see him blossom and hit the unplayable form Hazard managed by the time he left in a £130million move .
