MYKHAILO MUDRYK showed off his inspirational custom shin pads after scoring his first Chelsea goal last night.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian got off the mark with a low left-footed shot as he sent the Blues on their way to a 2-0 win at Fulham.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
Mudryk, 22, joined Chelsea for \u00a397m in January after the West Londoners beat off competition from Arsenal.<\/p>\n
The winger had a tough start to life at Stamford Bridge, failing to score in his first 23 appearances for the club.<\/p>\n
But his perseverance has paid off, helping him grab his first goal in appearance No24 last night.<\/p>\n
After the game, the former Shakhtar Donetsk star posted a series of photos from the game on Instagram.<\/p>\n
He captioned them: " With You all I can.<\/p>\n "Great team performance.<\/p>\n "Big honour to score my first goal for such a big club like a Chelsea. Thanks our fans for big support."<\/p>\n In the final picture, Mudryk revealed his shin pads.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n On them was twice written the word "Can't", with a Jesus-like figure grasping the T in the second version.<\/p>\n On the third 'Can't', the figure appears to carry the T away like a cross.<\/p>\n Below that was then the amended version, simply reading "Can".<\/p>\n The religious star also had orthodox Christian imagery with him.<\/p>\n Commenting on Mudryk – whose body is covered in religious tattoos – one fan wrote, followed by flame emojis: "This is too hard."<\/p>\n While a second gushed: "A true believer."<\/p>\n Another added: "His mentality is top, proper warrior and proper chels."<\/p>\n Mudryk also received plenty of support from his team-mates.<\/p>\n Enzo Fernandez commented: "You deserve misha."<\/p>\n While Raheem Sterling added a lightning bolt emoji.<\/p>\n Carney Chukwuemeka wrote "Mishaaa" followed by two flame emojis.<\/p>\n While Robert Sanchez added: "Vamos!!!"<\/p>\n We need to understand that young people need time and need to settle<\/p>\n After the game, boss Mauricio Pochettino said of Mudryk: "We need to understand that young people need time and need to settle. It\u2019s about adaptation.<\/p>\n "It\u2019s a big change when Mudryk arrived here and when you arrive at a team, it\u2019s not easy to settle in a team that isn\u2019t solid. He wasn\u2019t the cherry on the cake, they needed to add something to the team.<\/p>\n "It\u2019s about time, having patience, trusting these young talented players, building confidence. It\u2019s a big job, step by step.<\/p>\n "Sometimes people don\u2019t have the patience but for us it\u2019s about having the patience. Even when we weren\u2019t winning, we were calm, stayed positive, had the belief."<\/p>\n Explaining why Mudryk was withdrawn at half-time, Pochettino added: "\u2018He felt something in his quad which we need to assess. He didn\u2019t feel comfortable to keep playing.<\/p>\n "We hope it\u2019s not a big issue, we hope it\u2019s nothing big and he can be available for Saturday."<\/p>\n<\/picture>HAZ A CHANCE <\/span><\/p>\n
