Chelsea were able to return to winning ways in the Premier League on Sunday, securing a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. After four games without a win, including two defeats to Manchester City, a goal from Kai Havertz in the second half settled the contest on a day that was dedicated to the late Gianluca Vialli.
The day also saw new arrival Mykhailo Mudryk unveiled at half-time after the Blues successfully completed a major transfer hijack on London rivals Arsenal signing Mudryk for £88million, a £62million initial fee with an additional £26million available in add-ons. The 22-year-old watched on from the stands Graham Potter's men bounced back from the mid-week defeat to Fulham.
A late goal from ex-Tottenham striker Carlos Vinicius, compounded by the dismissal of debutant Joao Felix, saw Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali and Paul Winstanley move quickly to make Mudryk the Blues' fifth January arrival.
