Sergey Rebrov’s squad earned a crucial 3-1 victory thanks to an own goal from Ryan Camenzuli and goals from Artem Dovbyk and Mudryk.Mydryk came up with a masterpiece in the 85th minute to seal the deal for his squad.
After dribbling past several defenders, the Chelsea player unleashed an unstoppable shot that found the back of the net. Here is video of the winning goal.
After a massive transfer fee from Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk in January, Mudryk has struggled to adapt to life at Stamford Bridge.
The winger’s time at Chelsea was rocky at first due to the team’s ineffective playmakers like Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.
Mudryk said he had a lot more to give after scoring his first goal for Chelsea this summer in pre-season under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
He finally reached his objective and was satisfied with his efforts. My potential is not limitless. The figure is merely 20%. I’m enjoying myself because we have Pochettino as our manager.
It’s great, we have fun, and we’re a brand new team, which is exciting. What a great read!
After the goal, Mudryk said, “When I shot, I didn’t think about anything, I just practice this stuff on the training pitch a lot, and this came from training.”
Mudryk scored Chelsea’s second goal in a 2-0 Premier League win over Fulham earlier this month, marking his first goal in a competitive game for the club.
