The all-action right-back was solid defensively against the threat of Newcastle’s attack last night, while also providing problems the other way when he raced forward with overlapping runs of support.
Chelsea loanee Omari Hutchinson took to social media last night to praise one Blues star for his performance in the win against Newcastle United.
Gusto completely locked down the right-side channel against Newcastle with his powerful display up and down the pitch.
The French youngster is turning out to be a sensational bargain following his £26m transfer (Sky Sports) from Ligue 1 club Lyon last summer.
However, even before the winger had put the ball into the back of the net, Marc Cucurella had his arms raised in celebration, confident that Mudryk would convert after cutting through the Magpies’ defence. It was a moment picked up on by football.london.
Nicolas Jackson was the man who gave Chelsea the lead before Alexander Isak equalised. Cole Palmer then put the Blues back in front in the second half with a brilliant strike, which was then followed by Mudryk’s goal and Jacob Murphy’s rocket.
Cucurella was making his first start for Chelsea since December after recovering from ankle surgery. It has been reported that the left-back could be sold this summer.
