But who else featured for the Blues in a domiant performance?
As per Adam Newson, Chelsea lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation as Jake Clarke-Salter, Trevoh Chalobah and Malang Sarr made up a back three.
The midfield four consisted of Davide Zappacosta, Danny Drinkwater, Ross Barkley and Marcos Alonso.
Whilst Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Abraham were trusted in attack.
At half-time Chelsea made several changes with the introductions of Ziyech, Broja, Baba Rahman, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
According to Football.London, neither Kepa Arrizabalaga or Edouard Mendy featured for the Blues as Thomas Tuchel looked at his younger shot-stoppers.
Jamie Cumming played the opening hour of the contest before being replaced by Lucas Bergstrom for the final 30 minutes
Tuchel will no doubt be delighter with his side's performance as unfamiliar faces featured for the Blues. He has been given the opportunity to view his players before making a decision regarding transfers.
