Chelsea defender Levi Colwill has now taken to social media to praise one of his teammates for their performance in the FA Cup last night.
He took to Instagram to comment on Mykhailo Mudryk’s latest post, leading the praise for the Ukraine international.
Mudryk was on the scoresheet for the first time in 2024 as he marked a rare start in Blue with a well-taken goal in the first half.
His strike was the second in what turned out to be a thrilling 3-2 win at Stamford Bridge against Leeds United.
The Ukrainian began the game in what seemed a new position, as he occupied the space behind the striker for the first half.
This did not go unnoticed by pundit Lee Dixon, who was quick to praise him for his performance there.
It seems it wasn’t just pundits who were liking what they saw from the 23-year-old. Colwill took to Instagram to lead the praise for the attacker.
He simply said: “My Boy.”
Comments quickly flooded in from elsewhere in the first team squad, showing perhaps just how important this particular performance could be for him.
Mudryk has found appearances hard to come by in recent months, let alone starts, and this has seen a fair amount of criticism come his way.
The fact that he did come on at Wembley on Sunday in the EFL Cup final and make zero impact did not help his case with a fanbase that are beginning to get a bit restless with what they’ve seen.
It remains to be seen if he did enough in Mauricio Pochettino’s eyes to convince him to give him the start against Brentford in the London derby on Saturday, after the boss picked him out for praise after the game last night during his interview.
