Mykhailo Mudryk’s Goal Makes History in English Football
Goal scored by Mykhailo Mudryk in the 1/8 finals of the English Cup against Leeds, became the fifth for the Ukrainian winger on the football fields of Foggy Albion. This statistic allowed him to surpass the number of goals scored by «Arsenal» midfielder Alexander Zinchenko. However, Mykhailo still has work to do to reach the record of Andriy Voronin, which is one goal ahead. But the path to legends like Shevchenko and Rebrov is still far away.
Impressive Stats for Mudryk
In total for «Chelsea», Mudryk has played 44 matches and besides his five goals, he has also provided five assists. While Alexander Zinchenko, aiming for 200 matches for English clubs and only behind Oleg Luzhny, has scored four goals in the Premier League.
After the match with Leeds, Mudryk rose to the fifth place in the list of Ukrainian goalscorers on English fields. He only needs to score one more goal to equal Andriy Voronin’s record, who played for «Liverpool».
Ukrainian Legends in English Football
The leaders among Ukrainians in English football are still Andriy Shevchenko, current president of the UAF, who scored 22 goals in 77 matches for «Chelsea». In second place is Ukraine national team coach Serhiy Rebrov, who scored 18 goals in 104 matches for «Tottenham» and «West Ham». And in third place is «Dynamo» midfielder Andriy Yarmolenko, who scored 13 goals in 86 matches while playing for «West Ham».
