'Slow and sluggish' - National media react to Chelsea win over Crystal Palace as Mudryk unveiled

Mykhaylo Mudryk already looks to be a lucky charm for Chelsea, with Graham Potter's side securing their first win of the month upon his arrival. The 22-year-old winger, who has penned an eight-and-a-half year contract with the Blues, was in attendance at Stamford Bridge before he was officially unveiled to the home support at the break.

Chelsea launched out of the blocks and looked keen to impress Mudryk, though it wasn't until 20 minutes into second-half when Kai Havertz nodded the west Londoners ahead. Potter's side struggled to add to their advantage but the class of Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile guided the club to victory.

The Blues remain some way off the top-four, sitting in ninth on 28 points - ten points from Manchester United. Chelsea are slowly but surely showing signs of great promise under Potter so the return of Joao Felix and introduction of Mudryk will come as huge additions.
