CHELSEA'S struggling ace Mykhailo Mudryk was slammed following a poor shot against Aston Villa that saw him completely missing the target and instead hitting the corner flag.

Mudryk, 23, started for the Blues against Villa at Villa Park and stood out for all the wrong reasons during the first half.

The winger found some space a few yards outside of the Villans' box down the left and decided to fire a powerful shot towards Emiliano Martinez.

However, the Ukraine international's effort went completely wide as it took a wild curve and flew all the way towards right corner before going out for a goal-kick.

Villa fans cried out an ironic gasp while a raft of Chelsea supporters took to social media to vent.

One fan tweeted: "Genuinely, is MUDRYK a footballer?"

Another commented: "No way is Mudryk a professional footballer."

A third said: "Mudryk is one funny player I tell ya."

This fan posted: "Mudryk is too funny. How is that even possible?"

And that one stated: "Mudryk tries a shot from distance but it hits the linesman. Quite an achievement actually."

Mudryk cost Chelsea a staggering £88million last January when he arrived from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Since then the Ukrainian has only managed a total of six goals and four assists in 53 appearances.

The forward also failed to net a single goal for Chelsea last season across all competitions.
