The Borussia Dortmund star was praised by the United States striker after a stunning display against Honduras on Friday.
Hat-trick hero Clint Dempsey sang the praises of Christian Pulisic as the Borussia Dortmund forward ran the show as United States thrashed Honduras 6-0 in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying.

Jurgen Klinsmann was duly sacked following that bad start and replaced by Bruce Arena, and the 65-year-old enjoyed a triumphant start to his second spell in charge of the national team.
