Chelsea were top-notch, as they left no stones unturned in the second leg Carabao Cup semi-final clash against Middlesbrough.

Chelsea were beaten 1-0 at the Riverside Stadium a fortnight ago, but the Blues showed their superiority in the second leg over the Championship side.

As at half-time, Chelsea were cruising to a 4-0 victory, but one Chelsea player seemed off the pace – Mykhailo Mudryk.

The Ukrainian didn’t show up at all, and was hauled off at half-time, with Noni Madueke coming on for him, and also scoring a goal.

Chelsea fans were far from impressed with what they saw from Mudryk.

Football Connesouoir, wrote on X: “Mudryk has genuinely no idea when to go inside vs when to hold width, it’s pretty alarming.”

Daniel Childs, wrote on X: “If an academy player put in display Mudryk is, he’d never see the first team building at Cobham again.”

ExpectedChelsea wrote on X: “Mudryk is a phenomenal talent. The combination of speed and the ability to execute at 100 km/h is breathtaking. He’s a title winning player one day. But his head is so empty. There has been only one player on the left trying to crash the box today and it’s not him.”
