Liverpool legend praises Mudryk for his performances in Newcastle clash

Mykhailo Mudryk has been a constant frustration for a number of Chelsea managers since joining for £88 million just over a year ago.

The Ukrainian had been on the pitch only five minutes when showed his blistering pace to burst through the heart of the Newcastle defence and turn in just his sixth goal in 46 Chelsea appearances.

"He's been lively since he came on, Mudryk. He was positive, he was brave, he took it off Gallagher. It was initially Jackson down his left side. Gallagher doesn't know Mudryk is there," Jamie Carragher told 'Sky Sports'.

"Mudryk can just sneak it though the legs of Schar, he has that composure to take it around the goalkeeper. It looks like he's taken this game away from Newcastle and a much-needed three points it would be for Chelsea," he added.
