Mykhailo Mudryk has put Chelsea 2-0 ahead against Arsenal - by producing an inch-perfect lob over the head of Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
The winger picked up the ball on the left flank before charging towards the area, and he looked as if he was going to cross the ball in.
But Mudryk spotted Raya standing well off his line, before opting for the lob that went over Raya's head and into the back of the net - sending Stamford Bridge into raptures.The goal held all the more significance for Mudryk, given that he was the subject of a long-running pursuit by Arsenal in January.
But Chelsea performed a last-minute hijack of the move and he joined the Blues instead.And after what has been a difficult adaptation to English football since his arrival from Shakhtar, Mudryk has begun to find his feet in the Premier League.
He now has two goals to his name, and doubled Chelsea's lead over their fierce London rivals following Cole Palmer's first half penalty.
Mudryk played a key role in that goal as well, with his header ricocheting off the arm of William Saliba. After a VAR monitor check, referee Chris Kavanagh pointed to the spot, with Palmer doing the rest for Chelsea from 12 yards out.
Palmer nearly made it 3-0 on 56 minutes when his pass was intercepted, with the Spaniard rushing towards the feet of the ex-Manchester City star and preventing him from getting a clear shot away.
