See how Mudryk reacts after Jadon Sancho took his place against Bournemouth
On Saturday night, Chelsea defeated Bournemouth in a thrilling late victory that must have been especially memorable for Jadon Sancho, who was making his team debut.
In the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Bournemouth 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium despite trailing late.
Robert Sanchez, the goalkeeper for the Blues, stopped a penalty kick in the first half to preserve the visitors equal. Then, in the 86th minute, Christopher Nkunku scored the game-winning goal with a close-range finish after coming off the bench.
The 24-year-old Jadon Sancho made his Blues debut against Bournemouth at halftime.
Chelsea fans raved about Sancho’s first performance for them, suggesting his signing on loan from Manchester United is a masterstroke. He quickly showed what he’s about with an eye-catching 45 minutes, which included a clever pass to assist the winning goal.
Jadon Sancho reacts to Chelsea debut
Sancho expressed his delight in a post-match interview after his positive Chelsea debut at the weekend.
Sancho told Sky Sports (10:02pm, 14 September: “First of all it is amazing to make my debut for Chelsea. Just being back playing I’m very grateful. The team played very well and we are happy with the three points.
“I’ve been working hard for this moment and I’m just happy that I got my chance. I had a great end to last season being in the Champions League final. I’m just happy to make my debut for Chelsea.
“I have to thank all the staff and my team-mates. The first day I came in, they made me feel welcome and I’m so happy to feel this comfortable.”
Jadon Sancho arrival should strike fear into teammates especially Mudryk
Sancho’s instant impact means he’s already got the supporters on his side. We suspect that Enzo Maresca would’ve loved his performance in the second half at Bournemouth, too.
The left-winger looked so confident and direct, constantly running at the opposition full-back.
There’s no doubt that he was far more impactful than Pedro Neto, who was replaced at the interval after a quiet first half. On top of that, Mykhailo Mudryk may have just slipped further down the attacking pecking order.
It’s worth saying that Chelsea have a lot of fixtures this term because of domestic and European competitions, so we expect a lot of rotation and change from the head coach.
Mudryk reacted to Chelsea difficult win against Bournemouth: “Great 3points from the boys” “Sancho great assist” he said.
