Chelsea supporters have consoled Mykhailo Mudryk on social media after VAR ruled out his first goal for Chelsea. The 22-year-old has impressed in glimpses since joining the Blues but, having arrived with little game time under his belt, he's had to gradually build his match fitness.
Mudryk has been desperate to net his first goal for the club and he almost did had he not been offside. Enzo Fernandez threaded the Ukraine international in behind the Leicester City defence with only Danny Ward standing in his way.
He galloped towards goal before slotting the ball into the bottom left-hand corner. Mudryk wheeled away in celebration before throwing himself into a knee slide by the corner flag, reminiscent of Didier Drogba.

Just moments later, he was ruled offside and his goal was chalked off. Chelsea fans quickly flooded to social media to console the youngster — luckily for Mudryk, he went on to provide the assist to Mateo Kovacic's excellently taken volley.
So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at some of the best reactions to Mudryk's imitation of Drogba after almost scoring.
