The Blues signing, who arrives from Borussia Dortmund next season, was one-on-one with Valencia, 33, down the right side.

Pulisic stood up Valencia, before rounding the United man with quick feet and winning a corner.

The American, playing in the No10 role instead of on the wing, had a quiet game as USA won 1-0.

But his one moment of brilliance had fans gushing.

One said: "Very slick from Pulisic against Valencia."

Another said: "This impressed me last night. Sure, Valencia's no spring chicken, but he's always been quick."

"Love to see that Pulisic has the skill, speed and confidence to try a move like this."

One commented: "Was that Valencia that Pulisic just blew past?"

Another commented: "Pulisic just sent Valencia packing lmao."
