Chelsea boss Pochettino 'happy' with latest Mudryk performance

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino feels Mykhaylo Mudryk will build on his performance in their FA Cup win against Leeds.

Mudryk scored in the 3-2 victory.

Ahead of today's clash with Brentford, Pochettino said: "I think it was a good opportunity with four offensive players, having Noni, Raheem and Nico with him, to help him to be involved in the game and be more connected. I was happy with how it went.

"He finished the game on the left side, but it's good for him to have different opportunities to feel the game and to help him to be connected with the team.

"I think it was a position that forced him to be more involved and read the game in a different way than when he plays on the left side."
