Christian Pulisic treble as USA rout Panama to all-but seal FIFA World Cup berth

Christian Pulisic scored a hat trick as the United States thrashed Panama 5-1 on Sunday to all-but guarantee their qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Pulisic scored a pair of first-half penalties -- both given against Panama captain Anibal Godoy -- before completing his treble with a virtuoso goal in the second half to leave the US with one foot in this year's finals in Qatar.
