Pulisic was highly active in the first half
Pulisic had a good first half

Christian Pulisic showed great promise for Borussia Dortmund, as he made some exciting dribbles through the flanks. As stated earlier, Dortmund were forced to play through the flanks, with Pulisic being involved in most of the attacks in the first half.

The 18-year-old made a particular mark when he ran from 15 yards into the box and passed the ball in line to Aubameyang. But, it was Tottenham skipper who changed the course of the ball by deflecting it.

The American wide-man was anonymous in the second half, with Dortmund playing mostly on the right. He did a great job on two occasions with a dribble and a cross. But, the crosses were too wide to catch, Although he has great room for improvement. Pulisic would have been a major threat in the second-half if Serge Aurier was absent.
