Mykhailo Mudryk ‘likes’ Instagram post slamming Chelsea teammate after draw with West Ham

Mykhailo Mudryk appeared to like an Instagram post slamming Chelsea teammate Marc Cucurella after the 1-1 draw against West Ham.

After back-to-back 0-0 draws against Liverpool and Fulham, Graham Potter’s side went to the London Stadium looking to secure all three points.

January signings Joao Felix and Enzo Fernandez combined superbly to give the Blues a 1-0 lead after 16 minutes.

Chelsea were playing some great football as they pushed for a second. However, West Ham got themselves back in the game courtesy of a 28th-minute goal by former Blues player Emerson.

In the second half, Hammers midfielder Tomas Soucek appeared to handle the ball inside the penalty area but VAR thought otherwise.

The match ended in a 1-1 which was another disappointing result for the Stamford Bridge club.

After the match, fans spotted that Chelsea’s new boy Mudryk liked an Instagram post which slammed full-back Cucurella’s performance.

According to The Sun, the Ukrainian later unliked the post.

Spaniard Cucurella came off to a chorus of boos from the travelling Chelsea fans as he was replaced by Ben Chilwell in the 67th minute.

Blues boss Potter defended his player during his post-match interview.

He said: “Supporters are entitled to their opinion of course, they just want the team to do well and as I said in the previous press conference I don’t think Marc is in his absolute best moment.

“But at the same time, he’s been part of a team that’s kept a clean sheet at Anfield, a clean sheet against Fulham.

“In the summer, I know because I was at the selling club, there was another club that were interested in Marc.

“From a points view in the Premier League, they are a good club, so Marc hasn’t become a bad player at all but some players can go through bad times so we need to stick together and help him.”

Chelsea are back in action on Wednesday as they take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16.
