“Learning from you” – Levi Colwill responds to Chelsea star for praising his incredible assist for Mudryk in win over Fulham
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill responded to forward Cole Palmer's comment on his Instagram post after helping his side beat Fulham 2-0 in the Premier League on Monday (October 2).
The Blues came into the game in 15th plce in the league table and having scored no goals in September. However, they turned it up at Craven Cottage as Levi Colwill, who played as a left-back, provided an excellent assist for Mykhaylo Mudryk in the 18th minute.
Colwill took the ball on the left flank and delivered a fabulous ball over Fulham's defense right onto Mudryk's chest. The Ukrainian winger, who arrived in January from Shakhtar Donetsk for €100 million, finished brilliantly to score his first goal for Chelsea.
Armando Broja got on the scoresheet a few seconds later as the Blues completed a 2-0 win to move to 11th in the standings. Colwill uploaded a post on Instagram with the caption:
"Important points on the road ✊🏾 Come on blues 🔵"
Cole Palmer, who arrived from Manchester City in the summer, commented:
"Say swear you can play through balls like that, my boy"
Colwill replied:
"Learning from you"
Colwill, 20, has featured in every game for the Blues across competitions this season, playing as a centre-back or left-back.
Mauricio Pochettino provides injury update on Mudryk after Chelsea's win over Fulham
Following the Blues' second win in the Premier League this season, manager Mauricio Pochettino had plenty of positives. Mykhaylo Mudryk scored his first goal for Chelsea while Armando Broja also got on the scoresheet having recently returned from a long-term injury.
However, it wasn't all positive, as Mudryk had to be substituted at half-time for Ian Maatsen. Pochettino provided an update on the Ukrainian winger, hoping that his injury isn't too serious (via Chelseafc.com):
"He felt something in his quad which we need to assess. He didn’t feel comfortable to keep playing. We hope it’s not a big issue, we hope it’s nothing big and he can be available for Saturday."
The Blues already have a huge injury crisis, with the likes of Reece James, Ben Chilwell and Christopher Nkunku out. They can ill-afford to lose Mudryk now, especially after he appears to have found some form.
The west London side next take on Burnley at Turf Moor in the league on Saturday (October 7).
