Mykhaylo Mudryk made an impressive maiden appearance against Liverpool setting a new record for a Premier League appearance.
Mykhaylo Mudryk, a star for Chelsea, made his debut with the Blues and, just minutes later, established himself as the fastest player in the Premier League this season.
The Ukrainian winger moved to the London club in a deal of £87 million earlier in the transfer window from Shakhtar Donetsk. He is the most recent player to join the club during the tenure of Todd Boehly. At the weekend, he made his debut for his new team, Chelsea, as the Blues traveled to Anfield to take on Liverpool. It was his first game with the club.
The 22-year-old player began the match on Merseyside on the substitutes’ bench, but he eventually took Lewis Hall’s place about halfway through the second stanza. Even though he did not get his name on the scoresheet, he still managed to show a number of bright touches and came close to opening his scoring account for the Blues. He had a promising start to his career as a Chelsea player, and despite the fact that he did not get on the scoresheet, he still managed to show a number of bright touches.
In the process, Mudryk established a new record for the Premier League for the current campaign, despite the fact that he had only been on the field for slightly more than a half an hour. As he ran after a through pass, the Ukrainian wideman reached his highest speed of 36.63 kilometers per hour, but he was ultimately bested by the Liverpool player Ibrahima Konate, who had had a head start on him.
As a result, he surpassed Everton’s Anthony Gordon, who had previously set the record with a speed of 36.61 kilometers per hour, to become the fastest player to have competed in the Premier League this season. Darwin Nunez of Liverpool is in third place with a speed of 36.53 kilometers per hour, which is faster than Erling Haaland (36.22 kilometers per hour) and Denis Zakaria (36.09kmph).
Graham Potter is anticipating more from the Ukrainian winger after being left impressed with his debut performance despite the fact that it is still unknown whether Mudryk will be able to maintain his hold on the title between now and the end of the season. Following the blowing of the final whistle at Anfield, he was quoted as saying, “That was pretty good.”
“He’s only been staying with us for a few days so far. He will only continue to get better as he spends more time with us and as we gain a deeper understanding of one another, but there are positive indicators. He will motivate his supporters to get up and cheer. His dribbling action is quite high up in the air. He is aware of the location of the target.”
