The Ukrainian international did not get a goal or an assist but had a couple of decent opportunities with Chelsea fans liking their new winger.

It was widely thought that he would seal a move to Arsenal only for Chelsea to outbid their London rivals for his signature. It was a signing that created a forum for hilarious banter between Chelsea and Arsenal fans on social media.

Mudryk has now even added further fuel after he reshared a chant mocking Arsenal's failure to sign him. Chelsea fans sang the song during the game at Anfield with Mudryk resharing it on his Instagram stories.

The chant read in part:

"He flew in from Ukraine, on Boehly's private plane,.
Mudryk said to me: 'Have Arsenal won the Champions League?'.
So I told him no, you know the place to go, then he said to me, I want to lift number three," as quoted by Goal.

The 22-year-old looks to be a certain starter for Graham Potter's side in subsequent games. Chelsea take a two-week break before resuming with a home clash against Fulham.

New Eden Hazard?

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Chelsea fans believe their new signing Mykhailo Mudryk may be the real deal after his exemplary 35-minute show against Liverpool on Saturday.

The Blues beat Arsenal to sign Mudryk for £89m from Shakhtar Donetsk in what was a shock transfer for many since the Ukrainian snubbed league leaders Arsenal for 10th-placed Chelsea.

Mudryk was instantly integrated into Chelsea’s squad as under-pressure Graham Potter named him on the bench to face the Reds, who are also having a dull campaign.
