Mykhailo Mudryk was one of the few great players for Chelsea against Newcastle. The Magpies would eliminate the Blues from the EFL Cup. Enzo Maresca and his men beat the same team just days ago in the Premier League. But they were unable to beat them second time in-a-row. The Magpies had the home advantage this time. They were not so good themselves either. But they were clinical and managed to capitalize on the mistakes of the away team. As a result, they would win the Round of 16 Cup tie with a 2-0 score line. As for the Blues, they lose out on the first silverware this season.
Mykhailo Mudryk stars
The 23-year-old winger has been a subject to a lot of criticism. Fans often complain that he loses the ball too much and cannot finish well. But the winger is trying to turn the tide in his favor. As per thechelseachronicle, Mykhailo Mudryk was the biggest threat for Chelsea against Newcastle. He managed to run down the flank and create a lot of chances for his side. But his teammates would let him down in the end. The Blues were not even able to score as they would fail to beat the home side.
What does it mean for Chelsea?
Enzo Maresca has chosen to start Jadon Sancho many-a-times on the left-flank this season. But lately, the Englishman has not been a part of the starting XI. Pedro Neto has taken his place instead. Last time, we also saw Mykhailo Mudryk coming on instead of Sancho. Now, Chelsea have an important Premier League game coming up against Manchester United. The 23-year-old winger may not start that game. But there are chances that he will get a cameo from the bench. An impressive performance will surely boost his case for earning a starting position.
