The impact of midfielder Jude Bellingham will remain even after he leaves England.

After scoring in both of Wednesday’s games at Stamford Bridge, Mykhailo Mudryk proven his point. In a home match against Crystal Palace, the Ukrainian was just in the right spot to head in a cross from Malo Gusto and put his team ahead.

In the aftermath, the impressive winger for Chelsea showed surprising composure as he extended his arms to the side, paying tribute to the late Bellingham, a star for England and Real Madrid. The Blues were looking for a quick turnaround after a poor showing at home earlier in the season, so they came into this Premier League match determined to win it all in front of their own fans.

Despite being two years Bellingham’s senior, 22-year-old Mudryk has no qualms about steаling his trademark move from the Three Lions star. This season, Bellingham has been a standout for Real, and in August, he made headlines when he ran over to the Athletic Club fans to celebrate his debut goal by placing his feet on the ground with his arms outstretched.

The maestro from Chelsea didn’t quite dash over to the Palace supporter section in west London during his magical moment. Though he scored the game-winning goal against Roy Hodgson’s team, he appeared as calm as ever as a client.

“Mudryk with the Jude Bellingham celebration,” tipped off one astute observer. “Jude is an inspiration to his age-mates.” A second admirer of the Englishman said: “Jude’s influence is unmatched.”

Summer enrollment Both right defender Gusto and forward Christopher Nkunku were worthy of appreciation for their contributions to the goal, with Gusto having an especially strong first half vs Palace. On the cusp of halftime, Michael Olise calmly scored an equalizer of his own, dampening Chelsea enthusiasm.

With Mauricio Pochettino’s squad coping with a deluge of injuries, it is more important than ever for players like Mudryk to start delivering results worthy of their high salaries. With Nkunku’s late arrival and debut consolation goal in the loss to Wolves on Christmas Eve, the club has received a much-needed winter boost.
