Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has taken to social media to praise Mykhailo Mudryk after his performance last night.
He commented on the Ukrainian’s Instagram post congratulating his teammate after he found the net for the first time for the club.
Mudryk’s performance last night was a culmination of weeks of solid displays as well as hard work on the training ground.
After latching on to a Levi Colwill pass in the first half, the 22-year-old calmly slotted past the oncoming Bernd Leno to give the Blues the lead in the West London derby against Fulham.
Within a minute, it was two thanks to Armando Broja’s first goal since returning from a serious knee injury back in December last year.
It was clear to see that the joy on Mudryk’s face was echoed by a number of his teammates.
Fernandez praises Mudryk
Fernandez and Moises Caicedo embraced on their way to celebrating the goal, with the weight of the world seemingly coming off their teammate’s shoulders.
The World Cup winner then took to Instagram to praise Mudryk for what he achieved on a personal level last night.
He said: “You deserve Misha”
There were fears when the second half got underway however and the winger did not emerge with the rest of his teammates.
Instead, he was replaced by Ian Maatsen after what emerged to be an injury concerns.
An update late last night suggested that the club were hopeful that the thigh problem he had sustained was not too serious.
The player himself did not seem too concerned when asked about the issue, and therefore supporters can be hopeful that he will continue his good form in the Premier League at the weekend against Burnley.
