Mykhailo Mudryk is now Chelsea’s joint-top assister this season, despite only creating two goals.
The much-maligned Ukrainian hasn’t had the best of times since his £88million January move from Shakhtar Donetsk.
GETTY2Mudryk found Gallagher with a clever pass
He is yet to find the back of the net in 11 appearances for the Blues in all competitions.
Much has been made of the winger’s profligacy, with his fellow forwards also hugely struggling in front of goal with only seven Premier League teams managing fewer goals.
However, things are even worse in the creative department, with no Chelsea player contributing more than two assists in the league this season.
Mudryk made a dent on that tally by providing a goal for Matteo Kovacic against Leicester, and doubled his tally in the 2-1 defeat to Brighton.
There was some luck involved, though, despite a clever pass from the 22-year-old.
He managed to neatly find Conor Gallagher just outside of the Seagulls’ box, but the English midfielder needed a huge deflection off of Lewis Dunk to beat Robert Sanchez.
The 13th minute goal got Chelsea off to a flyer at Stamford Bridge, but things later went pear-shaped.
Danny Welbeck equalised before the break to peg the Blues back and a screamer from Julio Enciso secured a deserved victory for the visitors.
