Mykhailo Mudryk wonder goal helps Chelsea sink Newcastle
Up in the posh seats, Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali could have been forgiven for thinking that everything is going to turn out just fine. Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea’s all-action forward, scored one and gave Newcastle’s defenders nightmares. Cole Palmer, a definite contender for signing of the season, dazzled throughout and made another vital contribution.
Yet the crowning moment would belong to Mykhailo Mudryk. Mauricio Pochettino, who has been under so much pressure, erupted with joy when the £89m winger came off the bench to seal a resounding 3-2 win for Chelsea. It was a glorious goal, a wonderful showcase of Mudryk’s explosive talent, and Newcastle’s hopes of going seventh were done. They remain 10th after a careless display, only a point above a resurgent Chelsea.
