Mykhailo Mudryk set for new Chelsea role as 10-minute cameo sends clear message to Graham Potter

It was a slightly embarrassing moment for Mykhailo Mudryk. On 75 minutes, Enzo Fernandez played the Ukrainian through with a beautiful clipped ball and the winger thought he had scored his first goal since signing for Chelsea.

Mudryk very confidently slotted the ball past Danny Ward and ran off to the Chelsea away end to celebrate his goal with the travelling supporters. However, he seemed to be the last one to know that he was flagged offside. It was marginal, but the correct call from the assistant referee.

It was an emotional moment for Mudryk. He thought he had just scored his first-ever Chelsea goal, so it's understandable that he got a bit carried away. And with the assistant referees not flagging until as late as possible nowadays because of VAR, who can blame a player for not hearing the whistle in a sold out stadium?
