Chelsea's optimism that the £88million paid for Mykhailo Mudryk is money well-spent would have taken a major boost this weekend after seeing the winger in action for the first time. The 22-year-old came on in the second half for Graham Potter's men and injected a flurry of much-needed energy into the Premier League contest with Liverpool.
Mudryk could have marked his debut for the Blues with a goal after brilliantly beating James Milner and Joe Gomez in the penalty area before firing into the side-netting. He also squandered a chance at the back post with a touch of a player who had not played since November.
The £88million signing has received plenty of plaudits for his first appearance for the west Londoners, with Steven Gerrard making comparisons to former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben. His arrival at Stamford Bridge will provide a much welcomed boost for Potter after a torrid run of results since the return of domestic football.
