The American again impressed off the bench in Frank Lampard’s side’s UEFA Champions League win over Ajax.
It was the third successive impactful cameo from Pulisic, and he says he is doing all he can for the club.
“The manager told me: “Go in, make an impact, make a difference” and I’m happy I was able to help a little bit with that,” he told the Daily Mail after the Ajax victory.
“I go in to give absolutely everything and do the best I can with the opportunity I’m given.
“I’m happy with the short time I was given to make an assist, make a difference and obviously I want to be on the field.”
Pulisic had struggled to force his way into Lampard’s plans after arriving at Stamford Bridge this summer.
Signed from Borussia Dortmund in January, the 22-year-old has seen other youngsters flourish under the new Chelsea manager.
Lampard believes the best is yet to come for Pulisic, though, and is seeing the bigger picture.
“Sometimes the toughest part of management is leaving out players who really want to play week in and week out,” the manager said.
“I see the big picture with him. I want him to be successful at this club because he’s a good lad, he wants to do very well, that’s very clear.
“Acting like he’s acting, training like he’s trained the last two or three weeks, playing like he’s played the last two or three weeks obviously makes me very, very happy.”
