Graham Potter admitted that he turned to Mykahylo Mudryk a little earlier than he had planned during the draw with Liverpool.
Mudryk made his Chelsea bow at Anfield less than a week after his eye-watering transfer to Stamford Bridge was completed. The Ukrainian hasn’t played since November, with Potter revealing he is still managing his workload as he regains full fitness.
But with the game locked in a stalemate, the Blues boss called for Mudryk a matter of minutes into the second half. And the 22-year-old wasted no time in showing exactly why he was the focus of such a frenzied transfer battle between his new club and London rivals Arsenal.
