However, at last, one of the counterattacks launched by Enzo Maresca’s team was successful. A cutback to Mykhailo Mudryk was met with a thunderous first-time right-footed strike into the top corner after Renato Veiga and Jadon Sancho’s superb move down the right left the weary defense completely dismantled. By the way, Sancho has five assists in six starts this season.Mudryk is becoming accustomed to finishing like that in this competition, but he needs to be more reliable when given the opportunity in the Premier League or other crucial games. It should increase their chances of starting in the league, but what does it actually prove? That’s the issue with guys like him and Christopher Nkunku dominating the Conference League.

Despite his impressive European play, Mudryk still has a long way to go before he can even start in the Premier League.All Mudryk can do, like so many others, is continue to score goals and perform well in this competition. However, the hierarchy is already mostly established, and it’s difficult to imagine anyone unseating Pedro Neto and Noni Madueke, who have become Maresca’s preferred duo.
