Chelsea star Ross Barkley was full of praise for his American teammate Christian Pulisic.

The winger has been in immense form in recent weeks, and continued his streak with a good performance against Watford in a 3-0 win.

Pulisic helped the Blues back into the top four as they attempt to stave off challenges from Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

"Since he came back from lockdown he has been on fire," Barkley told reporters at Stamford Bridge.

"He had a couple of little niggles earlier in the season - and he didn't have much of a break last summer before he joined us. So maybe this break has done him a world of good.

"Since he came back he has been blazing. He has been scoring great goals in training and now he has been doing it in matches.

"He is such a difficult player to defend against because he is so direct. He is also so confident. He is always ready to try and take a player on. He is a real problem for defenders."
