Mauricio Pochettino has said that Mykhailo Mudryk finally not losing to him at crossbar challenge is proof the £88.5m winger is becoming more confident after a difficult start to his Chelsea career.
Chelsea, who desperately need a win when they host Brighton in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday night, are in a challenging situation after adopting the strategy of spending big on young players. They have suffered from a lack of ruthlessness in attack, with five goals in their first six league games, and Pochettino made his inexperienced side do shooting practice at the end of training on Tuesday.
