The Ukrainian national team footballer became the main star in the EPL, creating a victory for his team

Ukrainian Everton defender Vitaliy Mykolenko had a great match in the English Championship. The 24-year-old Ukrainian national team player became one of the key creators of the victory over Chelsea in the 16th round of the EPL.

Mykolenko was in the starting lineup and played the full 90 minutes. The WhoScored statistical portal named the Ukrainian the main star of the match, giving him the highest rating (7.8) among all players.

During the match, Vitaliy took the ball away seven times, made six clearances, blocked the opponent's shots twice, intercepted one and won a duel once (out of three).

The match ended with a score of 2-0. Doucoure and Dobbin scored a goal each.

Chelsea's Ukrainian midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk also played the full 90 minutes, receiving only a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behavior. WhoScored rated Mykhailo's performance at 6.9.

As OBOZ.UA reported earlier, on November 17, Everton received a 10-point penalty in the Premier League draw by the decision of the Premier League commission.
